I had a mastectomy two years ago and I have written here before about the pain and stiffness in my joints which I thought could be caused by taking Letrozole.. I saw a Musculoskeletal specialist andhe referred me for pain management. I then had a phone call asking me to go for a MRI scan which I did in early May. I nothing although , as asked , I let the doctor know that I had had the scan I did look in my nhs and surgery records but there was nothing. I went today for the appointment for the Pain management and the doctor looked through my notes and told me that they had seen something suspicious on the scan and the cancer may have spread to the spine. I was totally unprepared for this news and it came as a shock. I had had a nuclear medicine scan previously and all was clear no sign of cancer. I am disturbed that I hadn’t been informed that there was evidence on the scan of something The scan was taken more than eight weeks ago. My daughter has been unwell for months and is having her blood tested for blood cancer. My husband died 18 months ago from cancer. I am sick of cancer. Sorry this is not more upbeat but I am allowing myself to feel sorry for us for today. Just glad to get it off my chest. Xxx I️
Hi Coral
Sorry to hear that your cancer may have spread to the spine, I'm also sorry to hear about your daughter and your husband. No need to apologise for not being more upbeat, you've been through a lot.
Wishing you and your daughter the best of luck with whatever comes next for you both.
Best wishes
