Had a heart sinking moment last night. J has been complaining of aching hips for the last couple of weeks. We've brushed it off as aching joints, a side effect of chemo.
But last night he said to me that his left hip was really aching and he wouldn't be surprised if the cancer hadn't gone from there. I stared at him and said just left? And he said yes. So I raced off to find my blog and read the entry from months ago which listed the many places J had cancer. (He only found out right before chemo so we didn't have much time to take it all in). "Be his right hip, be his right hip" I chanted in my head. It wasn't of course. There it was in black and white "left hip". Shit....
