Due to see the consultant tomorrow. He will have the results from the ultrasound-guided biopsy done two weeks ago. What will he tell me? Up till now my diagnosis has been 'probable' rather than confirmed or certain. If I have bone secondaries, how did they get there? The answer is in the blood stream. This must mean that secondary seedlings could have reached anywhere, from bones to brain, but apparently have decided to settle in my pelvic bones.
I call my bicalutamide tablets "weed-killer". As a gardener I understand using chemicals to treat a lawn in the hope that all those weeds will die. But we know there is a risk that some will be missed and that they tend to come back. I have been on weedkiller just over two months now.
I was working in the garden this morning and my left hip region and the bone I sit on (ischial tuberosity) are sore. Recently they have been much better. Does this mean that the local weed there had become active again?
