Greetings
I'm still here - not much change in the way I feel. Still got the pain in my leg and in my mid section. Much of the pain is a surface pain now, kind of like shingles if you've ever experienced that.
I'm going to try something new starting next week. There's an immune enhancer that doesn't seem to have the serious side effects like some of them. It's call Pazopapib or Votrient. It's taken orally in pill form once a day. It's not a cure (cause there doesn't seem to be one), but it could prolong things. It's also very expensive. Glad I have some pennies saved up.
They did blood work this morning on me to get a base line for this votrient.
Had lots of company this week. It's nice to do some visiting. I'm getting sleepy right now. I threw up a lot this morning so I don't know what's left in my body. Take care and remember me in your prayers.
