Hi
(For new readers who may be interested have a look at my profile)
Had an appointment today for follow up after radiotherapy. The gorgeous consultant (and ladies he is a really handsome man) was very happy with how radiotherapy has gone. But very concerned about how my mobility is deteriorating and how quickly. He asked what tests I'd had done and looked at results. Said I needed an MRI on my back to see what the nerves are doing. Tried to organise one today but no slots. Do has decided to admit me. Home at moment waiting for a call that a bed is free. Likely to be tonight or tomorrow morning. In the meantime he is stuffing me with steroids (bye bye sleep).
I am quite happy to go in. Will hopefully get a whole raft of tests and see a neurologist while I'm there. Okly downside is it is not my local hospital but where I had op and radiotherapy. 75 mile round trip. But I can live with that if they can get to bottom of issues and help improve my current situation.
So sending hubby to pack bag soon on readiness. Better write everything down.....
I agree with Moomy, The fastest way to get the tests done by far. The very best of luck and fingers crossed!

Gorgeous man is happy with how radiotherapy gone and is interested enough to investigate , sooo! Not only gorgeous but intelligent as well . Win ! Win !
At least now you can get things sorted out .
take care
Dear,
i agree with the other ladies - finally you are being listened to and more so looked after.
You have battled on for so long with all this, you need answers - I’ve worried about your symptoms, but we aren’t doctors, we can sometimes create more worry than is needed or not push when we should!!
This way things will get moving - whilst there please push to see a neurologist - let’s hope they can arrange for you to see one whilst in hospital than waiting on an appointment.
We are all thinking about you and praying they can get you sorted and give you answers
With Love, Gail xxx
Annjac......hope this will mean you get sorted out , and quick , best wishes. X
Thank you everyone. Hospital just called and can't get me in tonight. The lady will check discharges tomorrow and ring me about lunch time.
I'm thinking of taking a chain and padlock and saying please look after me until you know what is wrong and we have a plan for treatment.
Hubby going away sunday for two nights. We had a plan for a friend coming round to help but would be better to be safe and looked after.
I'll keep you all posted.
And yes WhatHappened - mind goes into overdrive. Been working so hard not to fall into the black pit but sometimes I am clinging on by fingernails.
At long last ! Someone is doing the right thing! Lots of love, and good luck xxxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Hi Anne,
just found your thread. It must be a relief that they are finally looking into it. Do hope you see a neurologist.
Thank you for replying on the radio thread whilst you have all this going on.
Nice to get a dishy doctor now and then! My anaesthetist was a dreamboat!
