Hi all
Had a result call on Thursday, apparently cells have spread rapidly since previous scan 3 months ago.
They are now in chest bone - and pancreas and lung & bum have multiplied.
She suggested I start thinking about palliative chemo as things speeding up. Primary tumour (sarcoma) still same no change but cells need slowing down
The choice is mine. I have a heart test Monday to see if I can have chemo.
Am still active daily and making most of my time but the chemo is a hard decision - she’s left it to me to decide and notify team.
Pass the wine
Hi Ruth
I hope radiotherapy helps, I had palliative on original tumour last year and have had no pain since. Just a lot of recent pain in hip now !
Yes it all seems geared to staff not patients and we suffer xx
My Gp advised me some time ago to take ibuprofen with the paracetamol (same amounts). I can testify that it did enhance the effect of the paracetamol. (this was for headaches caused by spinal/nerve pain). I can't say it obliterated the pain but it did help. Big hugs. Rainie x
