Bone Scan ???

Hi again.

Yes it is great connecting with similar age diagnosis etc - I too have aches and pains and interestingly also have sore bottoms of the feet.

I find getting up in the mornings and after sitting for a while a bit slow - feel more achy then and takes a while to get going.

One thing I guess I didnt expect was the ongoing discmfort related to mastectomy and lymph nodes out.Naively I thought it would just feel like after a while I wouldnt even have to think about it - but I am constantly aware not because of the obvious aspect of missing a boob haha but because of the effects of the op !!!  I had my op last year in april and still have trouble lying on that side in bed etc just pretty uncomfortable and my upper ribs are sore still too. the surgeon said the rib pain is linked to radio and the other pain is linked to nerve trauma - he gave me a cortisone injection last visit and it did actually make a difference but is wearing off again !!!

I guess our aches and pains are probably a combination of things - I have 2 daughters and get frustrated that I still dont have the energy levels I would like. I havent been very good with exercise but have recently bought a bicycle and need to get going on it !!!!

I still have my ovaries - a friend who is a breast cancer nurse in the uk says removing ovaries is something they do more than not there and wondering why they werent taking mine out but when i spoke to the oncologist he said as I was already menopausal it was needed at this point - so we shall see.

Do you have any children Annie ?

I am like you - just want to get on with living now !!!

Still we have been on quite a journey so far hey - sometimes even now I still cant believe I've been through all we have. Somedays it feels like a bad dream and yet its not haha !!!

I am all ready for some sweet dreams ahead now .

Really great chatting.
