Hi all, just to let you know that I had my urgent appointment with my consultant yesterday.
He was very concerned to hear about my ongoing bone pain. I'm now taking a course of steroids and I had to have an x-ray whilst I was there to check if I have broken anything.
I'm due to see my consultant again next week to go through the x-ray's and to discuss Plan B (Radiotherapy) on my pelvis and leg to deal with this extra symptom and the cancer itself.
Yes I am still standing strong and this cancer has picked on the wrong man!!!!!!

The full pelvic RT makes a huge difference to bone pain, I know I’ve said it before, Mr Bw has none at all since he had RT last year. He used to suffer with leg, hip and lower back pain, nothing now and of course it crushes and disables a huge amount of cancer cells in the process. BW had lower ribs zapped too in a pre-emptive strike while they were there. Maybe worth asking for full coverage. The initial intent was to completely blast the Prostate and seminal vesicles and it then changed to full Pelvic, hips, lower torso/ribs, it seemed a huge amount at the time. He said they scanned daily, then moved him into different positions covering all areas. I think this will make a big difference to how you are feeling. Big cancer knock back as well. Plan B sounds very proactive.
