I really appreciate all you shared! Not many people would understand why I might need "support" after all these years being a survivor. You are absolutely right about the migraines! I had to go back and read my post because I didn't remember writing about migraines. I saw a neurologist who finally helped me by prescribing a migraine medication that relaxes the muscles of the spine (rizatriptan) and a muscle relaxer that is usually for people with MS. It works mainly with the muscles along the spine. (Baclofen) So I thought, that's different. And I've gotten relief.
I was a chemo nurse, and really didn't know about radiation! Now I'm continuing to learn.
I agree, as much as we struggle, we are alive.

@jw9 I am also on Baclofen. I was also prescribed Sumatriptan which was covered by my insurance however once I reached the age of 60 my doctor would no longer prescribe it; the “Triptans” are found to cause stroke in those 60+ 😩
The Qulipta on the other hand has a $400.00 copay 😢
