Well, all through my 2 weeks of radiation I had pain in side, which the team said could be constipation or muscular. After last week oncologist appointment where they wanted to discuss chemo but couldn't because I was in so much pain and distress, I had a CT scan on Thursday.
My mobility is worse than ever and even my sister cried when she helped bathe me on Saturday. I knew it was not constipation and thought my team were probably right and it was muscular.
Today I found out the scan results. I now have cancer in my ribs. Tomorrow I am having an MRI to see if it is in my spine. I am being admitted to hospital next week to start emergency chemo.
I'm so tired, and trying to keep positive, and I know they would not be offering treatment if they didn't think it could help, but boy is it hard. How do people remain positive?
I'm sad because my neck tumour is shrinking and if it wasn't for my pain in side I could cope so much better. I just want a break...even a small one would give me a lift.
Oh gosh Spanglesx
You definitely sound like you are due a break. That sounds so painful. I hope the treatment does reduce your pain and I hope it’s not in your spine. Just so rotten for you. I hope you can get some relief.
