Oh The Pain

Hi ladies,Well not wanting to sound too pessimistic, but I had an excruciating night in pain and it is scaring the hell out of me. I have mets to bones and lungs and the bone pain has been very, very mild the last few months but yesterday and last night my hips and thighs were in unbearable pain to the point of me bawling like a baby. I have a very good pain threshold so this was bad! I ended up taking some panadol osteo which after several hours seemed to ease this.I have not been having pain killers because I really don't want to start then I'm on the cycle of painkillers! I am up to cycle 3 of 6 with the AC regime. Am handling this really well, but what now scares me is the doc says my pain is an indicator of whether this treatment is working. Combined with lots of bad pains in the stomach area I am now scared witless that a decline is happening far too quick!! Your thoughts would be appreciated lady.

    It's a bit of a rollercoaster ride - with lots of ups and downs but so far for me the ups are outweighing the downs so I feel very lucky.

    Thanks Amy. I actually read your blog and am so inspired that years after your diagnosis all is still well with you. It is all too easy to only think about the 'end' that they tell is is not too far away. You're very inspiring, and I feel like I've just turned over a new leaf literally reading your blog! All the best xxx
