Thank you so much Grace for the info! Sydney is actually used to taking pills since she has been required to take several a day for many many months (chemo). If I do choose to go the medication route, I will probably stick with the pills because Sydney is used to pilling and because I heard the absoption of the medication is not as good with the transdermal method.

Exactly. Nothing is easy in this life, is it? And we take our responsibility to our little fuzz nuggets so seriously, as well we should. I sure would hate to see you trade one illness for another, if you know what I mean. You're truly in a precarious predicament but the oncologist may give you the peace of mind that you need in order to proceed. I know you'll keep us all posted and prayers will continue for Sydney and you.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers - as always they are appreciated.
