Hello everyone it’s been a little while since I posted. It will be 14 months at the end of March since I finished my treatment. I got the results of my recent mri scan and it’s good news! The tumour has all gone, full response to treatment. There is still a lymph node in my pelvis but the oncologist assures me it’s shrinking and she isn’t worried about it. I will have a follow up scan in four months to check on it. I have been discharged from her back to the surgeon at my local hospital.
I also had a steroid injection in my hip a couple of weeks ago. I have been in awful pain with arthritis. This has definitely got worse since the radiotherapy. The injection has helped a lot but now I have severe lower back pain. I’m not sure if this is coincidence or because of the injection? If it carries on I’m going to speak to my GP.
I don’t always post but I do still pop in here. It’s a lovely supportive space. I hope everyone is doing ok wherever you are on your journey?

Hi Clarhedge ,
This is great news regarding your scan results, it’s all we can wish for isn’t it?
As Irene & Ally have already mentioned check out the discussion we’ve been having regarding hip pain on the post that Irene has flagged, you might see something that you relate to.
