    @Marieda me too, then just the bone biopsie to worry about, I’m pleased you got a diagnosis very quickly, heading to 5-6 weeks for me by the time biopsie gets done ☹️

    Just a follow up, had urologist post op check today. Op went well no blockage but the urethra is a bit thick in places so that’s been the problem. Stent will get changed every 6 months for that I’m happy 😃

    @Glynnis six monthly changes are better than my 3 monthly, so that is good news for you.

    Hi @Glynnis that all sounds good news for you.  Good to hear.   I was taken off Kisqali because it was having an affect on my heart, according to the ECG so have been put on palbociclip, which I am hoping is as good as Kisqali.  I was told I could also go for 6 months before the next stent change, but left stent not doing the job as well as the right, so may have to change earlier.  Bone mets don't seem to have changed so far.     As if we don't have enough problems - wouldn't it be great to be able to do away with the stents!   Best wishes for continuing improvements..
