I found out that my kidney cancer had gone into my bone when my leg snapped after aching for a while. It was without doubt the most excruciating pain I have ever felt! Eventually was operared and scan revealed the tumour. Now have big prosthesis in my thigh and partial hip replacement. It dislocated after a short time so have to wear a hip brace for 3 months which is not designed for comfort. At the same time have tumour in adrenal gland! Starting chemo soon when leg has healed a bit. Trouble is the chemo slows healing so can't win. Was 10years since first diagnosed and have had kidney removed and radiotherapy on a lung node. So feeling pretty rubbish a lot of the time. Hip will heal but will be restricted for ages and very frustrated. Will be skint too cos can't work and pip takes forever. I know there are many worse than me trying not to feel sorry for myself.
