What the ?
For the last 5 to 6 weeks I have been experiencing back pain, in my neck, beneath my shoulder blades, and in my low er back. Had 2 appointments this week, the discharge appointment with my rads oncologist, and then my medical oncologist. This pain is worse in my neck, and it wakes me at 3am, then Im on the couch with nurofen and tiger balm being my friends.
My rads oncologist said that I should have a bone scan next week and that he would ring me next Friday, giving me a cuddle. What the....... Then came the medical oncologist appointment, who agreed with my rads doctor, he ordered some blood tests, and said that he will ring me on Thursday.
You know me, miss sunny and miss motivation. What the.....? I had a little cry in the last appointment, as my wonderful hubby stated how tough I was, and when I did cry, he said Trace is a positive one, she'll get on with it, then..... I didn't know it worried you so much.... What the.....?
So..... now where I thought it was side effects from Arimidex it could be something else is very scary until I know the results. My medical oncologist said that there are a number of options available in treatment if it is a recurrence. He was so kind and had picked up that I was concerned.
Holy ######## What the.......... Here I am, poking along, getting ready for an art exhibition and this has been a week that has taken my breath away. I don't normally vent, so thanks for being there.

- Thanks @"Tracey B". Love the pics BTW.
Paula xxx - Thanks @"Tracey B" and @iserbrown all done now. My appointment isn't until May 18th (I think or 19th) so will put it our of my mind until then... Worst part was my crap post chemo veins, after 3 stabs I had to get a Dr put the cannula in under ultrasound. Thank goodness that worked.
Hugs to you both
Paula xxx - @mum2jj good luck with your scans today - here's hoping it's routine! I am slowly learning that Scanxiety is part of it! They are being so thorough on checking us out it's just the inner says oh no! please no! Nah, she's right! That constant roller coaster!
- @"Tracey B" What great subject matter for a painting! Keeping focussed on something you love doing is great for the mind, body and soul!
- Oh no.... Such a worry for you. When are you having the scans? I will be thinking of you when I have mine tomorrow. I have had new hip pain this year, and a dodgy liver ultrasound. They are pretty sure it's just my osteoarthritis and my repeat liver ultrasound was good. Hopefully the scans tomorrow will confirm that. I am sending you lots of virtual love and a big cyber hug.
Paula xxx - I head up there from the other side of the hill.
The pic of the old wreck strikes a chord with me. Once upon a time, when things were very different, that wreck was the best thing that ever happened to someone. It was brand new and shiny and desirable. It was built for the job and was driven, literally, into the ground. Bits failed that could not be replaced, it's paint wore off, it was out of date.
But still, once, it was the best thing on the block.
