Hi everyone, well i have been in hospital since last Thursday now, not the place i excepted to be.I went last week to see the oncology nurse to sort out chemo and went home with a plan as we do.I was asked to tell her next day about my appointment with Oswestry just to keep her updated with my situation.Then she phoned me Friday morning to say could i just get someone to pop me into my local hospital so that orthapedics can give me a once over, and to bring a overnight case just in case and one week later still here, i think she conned me lol.I have since found out they had a MDT meeting on the Friday morning and were very concerned my spinal cord was compremised so took no chances. I went to Oswestry yesterday and had a look at my spinal scans, he showed me were the cancers are and it resembles swish cheese its so holey, but thankfully he has agreed to firstly with cement but he will use metal pins if needed to stabelize the vertibrea so good news. It should take place either next week or week after. i have to stay here in my local hospital till then so all in all looks like hospital for at least another 2/3 weeks.still getting job done and that means better quality of life for me.I am on steriods now and some of my cancer treatments, but my blood sugers are creeping up with the steroids so watch this space. I hope you are all keeping well out there Take care xxxx
