I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in the bones 3 years ago. Have since had chemo, 3 monthly denosomab & daily leterozal. Everything was stable until June this year when I started with intermittent pain in my lower back, hips & down the front of my legs to my knees. I was sent for an MRI & CT scan and told there has been no change, still stable & no sign of disc problems. Then 5 weeks ago I became so exhausted I attended the cancer A & E unit who said my red blood count was so low I needed a transfusion of 2 units of red blood, my whites & platelets are ok. I saw my oncologist 2 weeks later, my bloods were fine & she said it was just one of those things & hopefully it won't happen again. Yesterday I was back at the cancer A & E & my reds were even lower than before so had another transfusion. I'm still getting the back ache. Obviously there is something underlying this & I am pushing to see my oncologist urgently.
Has anyone else had this experience? or have suggestions on what might be going on? What should my oncologist be checking for?
Any suggestions. Alaine
