Double whammy tomorrow. It is my first mammo & U/S since diagnosis PLUS I'm seeing my onco for ongoing lower back & sciatic pain to arrange scans to 'rule out anything'. Both, of course, have me feeling edgey and melancholy. Lots of 'naaaah, you've got nothing to worry about' from the fam, which is well intended, but not very comforting. Wish me luck! (and some sleep tonight haha)

One down, one to go. Clear mammo, no palpable lumps, woooooohoooo! I did it! I'm a bc survivor. Now to find out what's going on with the wretched back... no bursting my bubble please doc!

Got the results back for my lower back CT scan. It's a protruding disc. Never been so happy to have a back injury. Onco was happy to handball me to my gp.

Thanks for your kind wishes. @iserbrown love the cartoon! I will think of that as I'm having my mammo and chuckle my way through!

Hoo-bloody-ray!! Fantastic to hear!

@kmakm thanks for the tip. I think the weight gain and muscle wastage from chemo has certainly contibuted. I think some kind of gentle exercise program is what's needed for sure. @joannie being happy to be told you need an organ removed... who'd have thought? Haha. I have heard gallstones are extremely painful, poor thing. All the best for your surgery.

Brilliant news! I've had a bulging disc in my lower back for 15 years (second baby was ginormous) and for what it's worth there have been two things that have helped: walking and Pilates. If I don't walk for three days my back starts to hurt, especially in bed at night which then affects my sleep. Seems weird to say hooray for back pain, but hooray it is! K xox
