Due to horrible, intense headaches, I'm having a spinal tap next Monday.

My only concern is (maybe I'm way off here): wouldn't it help spread the cancerous cells around?

Also, I'm weak and sick from the chemo (and the cancer I'm fighting), won't this make me even worse for me?

I still have time to change my mind, ladies... should I?
