Hello feeling stronger now

1 minute read time.

hello folks, it's been a while since my last blog and the reason why is I just haven't been able to cope with it all.

I am now feeling stronger and back to being me and not Vee with secondary cancer. I have been suffering for weeks with a really painful neck that the pain meds just didn't want to shift on the dose I was on and I ended up in A&E having x-rays, thankfully no cracked vertebrae. So where was the pain coming from and what was the cause, the onc thought it was the tumour on C2 which really frightened me and sent me spiralling downwards through all the negative thoughts of what if I can't beat this, how was I going to cope and I was unable to talk to family and friends without breaking down.

Well the turning point for me was when I recieved my copy of the letter the onc sent to my GP in which he started the letter with "This Unfortunate woman". well I can tell you people this made me quite cross to say the least, I have a name and how dare he refer to me in that manner, this was just what I needed to kick start me. I upped the meds and went to see GP bout neck, it turns out I am so stressed all my tendons and muscles around my neck have gone into a spasm and trapped a nerve, It is now much better and it won't be long before I can actually lie down in bed instead of being propped up.

I had an ultra sound of my pelvis last Thursday and got the results yesterday, they show I have a thick lining to my womb which is thicker than normal, so now in July I have to have an Hystoroscope to have a look see, hopefully nothing to be concerned about and no point in stressing about it.

Everyone of you who bother to post on my blog I thank you as your words of encouragement mean a lot and I really appreciate them , as I know you all have your own probs to deal with and I hope I can help anyone who wants it.

Love and hugs to you all.

    ' This unfortunate woman'?  Dear, oh dear - some of these  oncologists do seem to be a bit lacking in the tact and sensitivity department.   However, glad that you irritation acted as a tonic!  

    Best wishes,

    Hi Veekay, nice to read your blog again and know that you are on the fighting road after that unfortunate onc. wrote about you - at least you turned your anger into something positive!  I do hope things are starting to settle with your neck now you know what's happening - that's the frightening thing not knowing what's wrong - all we want is an answer.  You really have been along a rough road but I am inspired by your strength - yes you!  Try to keep as well as poss. and don't let idiots get you down.  God bless to you and your family I wish you well as can be.  Ann xxx

    ps. I take lots of pain relief but no-one seems to know why - I thought I would be on a reducing meds from my gp but he gave me amitriptyline as an extra! - like you I just want to know what's wrong.

    Oh dear Vee it seems that you onc went to the ssme charm school as the one who told G he was "lucky to be getting chemo".
