8 years ago I lost my husband to cancer, originally it was aesophigeagale cancer and after 41/2 years he had secondary bone cancer and after diagnosis lasted 6 months. I did not think that I would be using this site again. Monday 3 sept after mri on my back and ct on my chest I was informed I had cancer in my ribs, clavicle, sternum, and back. Don’t know where primary is yet. Apart from having a bad back for 8 months and been told it was sciatica. I have Been back and forwards to drs for pain, X-ray in May was clear. Hospital physio sent me for mri. In June I felt pain in sternum and ribs was diagnosed with condrititus after X-ray. then even more pain in ribs end of August went back nurse practitioners sent me for a ct. lookout I had them on same day. I have had no symptoms. They think it is gynaecology problem. Waiting for scan. Jan 2018 I woke up and hemoridged went to gynaecologist who did biopsy’s which were negative and said it was probably due to start of menapause. Had no bleeding since. I’ve never missed a smear always negative.
I have a range of emotions going on at the moment. The worst thing is how do I tell my daughters. I plan to do this on Wednesday when my youngest comes home from university for a couple of days. The older one knows something wrong as we work in the same place and after been told I went back to work obviously very upset and colleagues asked her if I was ok. I told her I was having tests and should know in couple of days what they were going to do about the pain I’m in.
second thing is did the drs miss something on xrays and biopsies. I begged my dr for scan on back in May even offered to pay and was told X-ray would show anything up. I can’t stand up straight due to pain and can’t walk far as getting breathless which I kept telling the drs.
sorry to rant and about the spelling mistakes.
