Hello to all, been in a lot of pain recently, new chest pain right in the middle of my sternum, feels very deep in my chest but also tender to touch.
Saw oncologist today and he says it could be my bone disease or it could be a side effect to the biphosphonate Ibandronic Acid as the pain started about the same time as I started the new drug.
So I have a week not taking it and see if the pain gets better, if it does then this means I can't take any biphosphonates at all. This is not good cause the reason for taking them is to stabilise the disease in the spine.
After all this today I feel much better and more at peace within myself. I can only do what I can do and nothing more.
I know that my journey with this disease will be a long one and at times it's going to be hard but today now I feel I can cope with whatever it throws at me.
only time will tell but I'm going to do my best to be as well as I can and in the words of a very wonderful lady. "cancer can kiss my a**e.
Love to you all and thank you for all your kind words I've rec'd to my other posts.
Take care Vee. xxx
