Hi All
Hope you are all as well as you can be
Just to update you I found my dexa scan results tonight as I was looking through my NHS app!
So at the ripe old age of 53 lol, I now have osteoporosis in my spine and osteopenia in my hip (albeit very close to dividing line of the osteoporosis territory).
My scan was done 4 weeks ago so that would have put me at 6 weeks post treatment.
I'm sending my results to my oncologist as it was a gp ordered test and I'll keep you posted as to what happens as I have been experiencing deep ache in my groin and buttocks and ache like hell for a few days after even the shortest of walks.
To say I was swimming 40 laps without stopping and hiking 20 miles at a time last year, oh and doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks, I'm finding it a bit frustrating so will ask for my pelvis to be checked on my upcoming MRI and I'm also going to ask for a referral to late effects clinic!
Will keep you posted
