Hello all,sarcoma is a really new word in my house,my mum fell 3 months ago and ultimately decided it was pulled muscles, she finally had an xray last week and found out she had 2 collapsed vertabrae (now we know why she's in so much pain),I went to the drs to pick up a referall letter and low and behold it was for a rapid referral for a soft tissue sarcoma!!,I thought she was just going to get her back fixed!!,its come as a complete shock to all of us,the reason for the urgent appointment mainly is because she has high calcium.,Previously she's had womb and ovarian cancer back it 2004,colon cancer in 2015.we are all shocked and at a loss really,she is in her 6th year of remission and all her scans and blood tests came back fine at the end of April,now thanks to my love of Google I've come onthe conclusion she has advanced cancer somewhere (due to the fact of high calcium),im sorry for mumbling along but I don't really know what to do or write,does anyone have any advice?,currently waiting on an appointment for tests,thankyoy
Hi Vine, oh your poor mum, she must of been in so much pain with 2 collapsed vertebrae. She has been through so much already, and being 6 years in remission it must of come as a shock. I know this is a terribly awful time for you all, waiting and wondering what is going on, but please do try not to google. There is a lot of information out there, but sometimes it all seems so negative, and that isn't always the case.
Hopefully the appointment will come through quickly for your mum, but in the meantime I hope she has some pain relief sorted for her back.
