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.....
