Hey lovely @Tracey B, am just catching up on posts and was gobsmacked to read your post.  You and your hubby must feel like you've been living a nightmare.  Now that your MIL has had her hip operation it's time to concentrate on you! Crossing fingers that your treatment plan and pain management is sorted asap and you stabilize really quickly and can get back to your amazing art and all that makes you happy. Huge hug lovely and know we are all cheering you on and sending healing vibes your way.  Xx Cath

Hi Iser, what a week it's been, thanks so much for asking. Admitted to hospital on Sunday, and started rads to my mets on Monday. They are radiating 4 places, lumbar spine, neck, thoracic spine and right arm. Following MRI and CT scans, my rads oncologist has advised me that my mets will be treated and sterilised, and it has been a lucky escape.
My bones will repair on their own and won't need surgery, and I don't require chemo due to no spread to the organs.
What a scary ride, but glad that I've been well cared for and saved from a much worse scenario.
Thanks so much for being there for me.......wow wonderful
.Sending you a huge cuddle xxxxx

Glad to hear that you are doing so well, Tracey. Hope that you can get straight back to all the things that give you joy! xxx

Woo hoo!  Considering what it is all about wow it is being treated before any chance of spread, zap zap zap and hopefully some healing time with a painting or two on the go!  A good team taking good care of you that got onto to it straight away!  Sending you a virtual hug, take care from Christine xx

Hey Margie,
Im a bit physically fragile, but so grateful that we can push forward again. I do sell my paintings, my hubby does the framing, and this cuts costs so I don't charge too much. The money that I make helps to pay for replacement materials. It's a nice hobby.
Cuddles, Trace xxx

@Tracy B what a beautiful painting. So pleased the outcome is better than expected There is no rhyme or reason to cancer. I wish I could go back to a time when I was far more innocent and was not personally involved with cancer.  It happens but so do beautiful things happen. You paint beautifully and your family love you. With your postings you make people happy so keep shining.
