some lidocaine on the spot, and gave me a little more during the
procedure. I've always had a high pain tolerance. If you don't have
any sensitivities/allergies, then you can go for something stronger.

am very sensitive. I'm investigating alternative treatments. Today I
attended a Body Mind Spirit Expo to get some ideas of what's out there
and what might work for me. The Cancer Center of America offers both
traditional and alternative treatments. There's a center close to me,
and I plan to check them out very soon.

chemotherapy for at least five years. Now she's saying sometime in
the next year or so. I'm working hard on finding alternatives so that
next I go to see her, I can say "absolutely not," and say it with
confidence.

and found that they're doing transplants for CLL--which my doctor said
hadn't been done yet!
