Where can I get an air ring from?

1 minute read time.

Well it has been scan result day today.  As usual, I prepared myself for the two extreme results..... no change, okay carry on as before....... something found, okay get on with further treatment. So which result did I get?  Well, neither.... the bones are stable but the scan picked up a "small something" on my liver. A small something that is not quite identifiable. My onc wants to investigate further and is asking the radiologists at Christies which route to take, ultrasound or MRI. I have my fingers, toes and anything else crossable that they opt for ultrasound ( I am claustrophobic), but in the event of having to have an MRI I have come up with a devious plan involving a lot of codology. ( Codding someone is fooling them  only in this case I hope to cod myself!!) The onc went on to discuss what the next step would be if it turns out to be something. Obviously the tamoxifen is not working, so will change that to faslodex..... monthly injections into my rather large derriere ( I knew it would come in handy one day) As the something is small chemo isn't on the cards it's going to be a case of watching and waiting to see what happens... Derriere injections.... thankfully I won't be able to see the needle coming.... but where can I get a nice rubber ring from .... ( or should I add one to my Christmas list?)

Take care everyone xx

  • Sorry about thee 'small something' and hope the injections do the trick. I freaked out about having a MRI but the GP gave me some tranquilizers and I just kept my eyes closed.

    As for your rubber ring - how about a child's swimming ring?

    Dear jazzcat

    could the local GPs surgery  lend you one?   Also, have found this link, if it's of any use to you.

    Hi Jazzcat,

    OK this is a serious suggestion and not being personal - well maybe I am but mean it in a nice way honest ! You mention you may have an errr amply proportioned derrière ! If you do not get sorted then maybe you try a car inner tube ?

    I am being serious as they come in  a wide range of sizes - see I was discrete - never mentioned lorries !!  Who knows you may even find a nice quick fit fitter !!

    OK should I head for the naughty step maybe ?

    Hugs

    John xx
