thanks for your post on Lauren's story........beware of side effects that come later on after chemo/radiation.......things they don't tell you about........it took about 4.5 years for mine to show up.......heart failure due to a thickening of the left side of my heart due to either/or chemo and radiation.......kidney failure due to the same reason.......one day you can breathe and walk and be almost normal and then wham.....it hits and you find yourself in ICU........my case may be different as I've had cancer 3 times in the same area......this last time they gave me mega doses of treatment.......just beware and stay on top of things. God bless and best of luck in your health.
