well it been a funny day, went to get my blood pressure monitored, its still a tad higher than it should be, then it was off to macc to see the shoulder specialist, oh he stood behind me and moved my arm, and god did it hurt!!!!!! anyway, he was not aware that i had fallen down a flight of stairs, he thought it was just from the surgery i had had, but he has given me an appointment for an mri scan, on the 10th of july at 8.10pm, yes, on my middle son's birthday, that will be two i have missed on the trot due to this blinkin cancer!!!!!!!!! they are scanning it to make sure that nothing nasty is there, why not just x ray it i do not know!!!!!!!! anyway, he is a lovely lovely man, so nice and caring and that really does make a difference i feel.
love to you all

HI Alison,
At least you had a nice person look at you , now that has to be a bonus!. I wish you luck, and I am sure it is a good thing that they are being so thorough with you, shame about your sons birthday, but I am sure he would rather have his mum okay than in pain . Wishing you all the best, you deserve it.
If you didnt get drunk in the first place , then you wouldnt fall down the stairs, your shoulder wouldnt hurt, you wouldnt have to go for a scan, so you wouldnt miss your sons birthday! so your fault in the first place , good luck ! xxxx
thank you steffy and tomdog xxxxxxxxx as for you lanz!!!!!! in fact, it was 7.30am and i slipped on some wet leaves!!!!!!!! wasn't even hung over!!! had i have been, well, it would probably been fine lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He's a naughty boy, isn't he, Alison? Sorry to hear it's your middle son's birthday - a real shame - and 8.10pm - goodness, they must be busy! I believe that an MRI shows far more than a simple x-ray. It's quite expensive, so I suppose you should be grateful for small mercies and that they are checking thoroughly. Have you had one before Alison? Lots of love, xxx Penny
yes i had a brain scan last April due to pins and needles and loss of strength in my left side, (and before Lanz says anything, no it wasn't to check if i actually had a brain!!!!!!!!!!!!lol) they didn't find anything though, and i was assaurred that it wasn't related to the breast cancer when i got diagnosed, though since then i do wonder if some of them knew what they were talking about!!!! well, i have started with swelling down my right hand side now, at the hospice today i was having my usual amount of chest pain, and it was really weird to see my right arm, hand, and foot swell up like a balloon, this has happened a few times now, not sure if its the arimidex, the high blood pressure or what, but it starts with the most awful tingles then blows up like a balloon, i am wondering if i am having a few mini strokes, cos i have had a few shooting pains in my head. to be honest, i don't really feel too good, but i will see the surgeon on the 15th of july so will tell him all about it xxxxxxx
