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?

  • Fantastic news about the tumour Clarhedge, but sorry to hear you have hip pain.

    Nicola, Irene and PEB24 have been posting some excellent information regarding their personal journeys with the after effects of radiation treatment. 

    I hope you get the support you need and maybe access to a specialist clinic for support and treatment.

    Wishing you all the very best.
