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
