Update after seeing Dr.

I've been having pain and numbness in my tail bone, pain down my left leg, and some on the right.  Neuropathy increasing in my left foot, and starting in my right.  Dr. thinks either tumor or scar tissue in my tail bone is pinching a nerve. I'm taking hydrocodone for the pain - works part of the time.  My CA-125 cancer marker has risen from 7 to 24 - not very good.  So, I'm getting an MRI or my brain and upper spine this week, and of the rest of my spine next week.  They didn't want to keep me in the MRI machine for 4 hours, so split the scans.  (Nice of the techs to think of me.)  I will be taking permanent disability from LANL soon to give my try at being a full-time"House Wife" and "Taxi" driver for Jamie.  (Although I'm not much for cooking.  If family wants good meals, will cook themselves.)

I'll update again once I get the MRI results
