Melissa:
I think I really didn’t know what that meant. I did know that a lot of people that had cancer that had metastasized to their brain and I knew the symptoms of those kinds of things, but as far as the bone, I didn’t know anybody that had cancer in the bones and I didn’t know if that was more of extreme or less, and I didn’t know if there was going to be any other horrible things besides the pain that I was feeling on my back that would come.
