we all know our own bodies don't we?

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone,

The roundabout starts again..... much as the doc didn't want to believe me (no CA 125 results when I saw him him in the morning) IT is back again, with a count of 785!  I knew it was, but didn't really want to believe it. The doc told me to phone the cancer nurse to pick up the results, but I saw her on the way out, so she said she would phone me when she had them.  He booked me for a 6 monthly scan and another appointment in 3 months.  By the time the nurse phoned she had told the doctor, changed my scan to urgent (but not next week as the scanner is broken at the moment) and arranged another appointment in 3 weeks!  Thank god she said she'd phone me.

So now we are waiting for a Ct scan appointment, then back to the doc to see if he will do anything yet.  If it grows as fast as it did last time (and I was told it is a fast growing type) I can see that I will be back on treatment straight after christmas. What a christmas to look forward to.  Why is it when you know it is there you can always feel it more.  Today I have felt very uncomfortable and tired, but yesterday I was ok!  It's also funny that my husband has now got sciatica in his other leg, (same as he had in Feb when I was bad before - is it physcological?).  He was hobbling with the walking stick when we went to the hospital yesterday

Happy days are here again...................................

    Hi Badger,

    Nobody knows your own body like yourself, as you say it was just as well the nurse phoned you back. I

    think your right about your husbands leg, if you are in pain then he wants to be in pain with you.

    All I can say to you both support eachother theres a long road ahead. Good Luck.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    HI Viv,

           To put it bluntly, what a bummer! I know you have been able to enjoy travelling etc, but it would have been so nice to have had a longer time before , as you say, being back on the rounderbout again. However, I am hopeful that the scan won't show  much growth and I know you can give this disease a kick up the backside as you have done before. Bless your husband, he wants to share everything with you, even the pain! I know you have a lovely supportive family but remember we are here for you , always.

                 Take care,

                     Love lizzie xx
