Finally after what seems an eternity, I am getting my latest CT scan and Bone scan results today. This time they did a full body scan.The results as always have taken over my thoughts and I am truly terrified this time of receiving them, as I am sure so many people are.
I have been so tired of late and unable to do even the smallest of tasks for long. I have been treated for yet another UTI, which showed nothing when sent away. I have now been told. I have a prolapse and this is causing a lot of my symptoms, regarding not being able to pass urine and constant lower back pain rather than the cancer in my spine. I have been on the waiting list just for a consultation for 3 months it is so debilitating.
I just want to sleep all day I am so tired and we have a coach holiday booked for the weekend to the Isle of Wight, It’s on my bucket list and for my birthday.I’m so scared I won’t be able to go. I am so fed up of crying I thought I would sound off to you guys sorry!

Hey Annie,
So sorry to hear these ongoing issues have dragged you down. Can you arm yourself with medication to help you enjoy your weekend? Maybe you can get a steroid injection or something similar for a short-term boost? Worth asking as soon as you can perhaps. Worrying about your scan results can't be dealt with by taking a pill but if you feel better perhaps a lovely weekend will push your worries to the back of your mind at least for a couple of days. Sending hugs. Rainie x
Annie. Our thoughts wont change the results. I ts going to be what it is. Easy to say but i recognise myself as more than crappy cancer otherwise, whatever time i have left will be consumed by this awful disease. I note IOW. Have a great day. Hope you make it to Sandown and Ventnor, beautiful views to,uplift the spirit. Take care.
