Hi Everyone,
after some tumultuous days dealing with bony mets diagnosis, hospital rads, MRI and CT scans,mI have survived this one by the skin of my teeth. My lovely rads oncologist had a meeting with my hubby and I last night. He advise that the rads this week will kill and sterilise my bones, and it won't require structural surgery to my painting arm. He said that the bone will heal itself, so that's awesome. MRI and CT scans have shown no spread to my other organs, so I don't require chemo this time. 
Im feeling very relieved,and so thankful that the outcome has been a better one this time.........frightened the hell out of me.....
What helped heaps was the overwhelming support, care and cyber cuddles from you all. This is an awesome network, with so many special and wonderful individuals who are happy to support and advise, and don't hesitate to be there for each other. You cannot quantify this support, Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles and lots of appreciation and love to you all.
Im in hospital until Friday, then have promised my daughter that I will participate in the Mothers Day Classic on Sunday, even if it is slowly........ xxxxxx
Thank you all so much, Trace

So pleased to hear such fantastic news tracey. It much be such a relief for you and your family. Do you mind if I ask you what prompted you to go back and see your specialist?? I know you were having some discomfort, but I have no idea what to look out for?? I have some osteo symptoms post chemo that are manageable and are relieved when I exercise etc, but how do you know if when to get concerned?? what is the difference between the bony mets pain and the osteo/post taxol etc side effects.

Hey Margie,
My pain was different to the usual Arimidex side effects, aching particularly in my arm and lower back. There was also pain at the base of my neck, I originally thought that I'd slept funny but it extended across my shoulder and down my arm.
My rads oncologist said yesterday, report any new pains, as they are better to investigate pain and pick things up early, than to leave it and end up with more trouble. I will speak up in future. 
Please discuss it with your oncologist if it lasts more than a week, just open up the conversation. 
Sending you a cuddle, Trace xxxx

Glad that you've had it checked out Margie,
We all rattle and squeak on these oestrogen suppressants, it's not fair, in fact this whole cancer thing sucks. I swear that I walk like an egg bound chicken first thing in the morning until my Achilles' tendons decide that they're going to work again.

Glad to hear it will heal ok. You must feel like a bombs been dropped on you sometimes. Pain that comes and goes is fine and I do have to be very careful going down stairs now as sometimes the knees want to work half a beat behind my brain. Pain that is chronic bears investigation. My motto is if it lasts longer than a couple of weeks, make a note of it for the doctor.

The doctor asked me a funny question yesterday, have I had any fever? Ummmm I said no. Its pretty hard to tell when you have hot sweats hourly lol.

Wonderful news Tracey. We all share your fears with every twinge and it's such a blessing when the good news comes. I can't imagine how stressful this has been for you.  Glad I'm not the only one doing the chicken walk first up! I've tried rotating my ankles while still in bed and this helps a bit.  Take care, Jane xx

@Tracey B, when you told me that you like seagulls, that they're like cartoons, and Mr Gnome said he likes to watch them fight over food, I was reminded of this clip from Finding Nemo. I hope it gives you a chuckle.
