Oh well, here we go again!

Less than one minute read time.

Well so many of you have been where I am now.....getting the news that the disease has "progressed".  I already had spread , but now the spread has spread further. The specialist has suggested a single dose of radiation, at a lower dose, across the whole of the pelvis, rather that just the right hip. He is hoping to find me a slot next Thursday. I also have a CT scan ordered, oh! that horrid liquid..... pretend pernod with no kick. I also needed to have a blood test at the hospital, talk about getting blood out of a stone.... four attempts! I'msure the first two missed the vein completely!

Anyway, I have picked myself up, brushed myself down and am ready to face this next phase of the disease. It is NOT going to beat me, I think its time to get out the boxing gloves and give the little blighter a bit of a bashing.

Take care all x

    Dear jazzcatx2, I am sorry for your horrid news - we go through it the first time with all guns blazing and then feel shot down by the fact it's come back.  However, you have obviously picked yourself up, dusted yourself down and ready to do battle once again.  Good luck, take care  and keep as well as poss.  I am not sure I've read your original blog but how did they find you had cancer in your hip and my hip keeps giving me jip all the time and the bone scan showed nothing.  Anyway, its about you here so if you reply a big THANK YOU, kindest regards, Ann x

    Best of luck with this next phase, Kath!  Have you tried having orange squash with the yucky liquid?  It makes it a little more palateable!

  • So sorry the 'beast' has multiplied. Perhaps you could sneak some REAL pernod into the CT drink? Haven't heard from you for a while - how is  the driving going? Are pedestrians safe yet? lol

    Hope the radiation keeps the beast under control.
