Might be a long thread, I get scanned every 3 months, March Scan all good, from March till June, i had been working in the garden, and some how thought i had hurt my back, then lost the use of my right leg, anomy,

Three monthly Scan June, Dr phoned, you have two fractures in your pelvis, so sent for check to see if it was ostroprories, yes it is, started medication, and fractures can take up to four months to heal, lovely,

Scan September you now have another fracture deep within the pelvis, so urgent MRI to be done, ok,

October had to see Oncologist  Face to Face first time since before lockdown, right you have Fractures yes Ostroprories, no two are, one is cancer in bone, could have knocked me down with a feather.

I then asked how can you tell the difference between fractures and cancer in the bone, she replied i can not down to the radiologist. ok, my kids said that was a silly question, i did not think it was, who am i .

So a plan of action was put to me, ok, well yesterday 3 weeks not heard anything, so i phoned my nurse.

Oh yes you have been discussed at the MDT, now the plan has been changed not a PET  Scan another MRI, why i asked, the Radiologist is not sure if cancer or not,

Well i thought to myself, it was the Oncologist said it was the Radiologist that knows, that is there job,

So now in limbo, enough to turn you to drink.

  • Hi Vivien, That's a pity you weren't suitable for that trial but hopefully another one will come along which is tailor made for you! It is good they are adjusting the drugs to suit your needs, because of side effects, the amount I was given did vary a lot. Good luck with the scan next month. Keep in touch.
