Good news, my friend's rad onc made contact and she is to have the biopsy this Monday (just in case it is a different cancer than the Met BC.) She was really stressing out over it.
I can 'sort of' understand why they didn't offer it in the first place - I guess they reckon she'll be dying eventually of the bone mets - so why do a biopsy as well (tho they may not word it quite like that ....)
She's had a really horrible week this week - her teenage grandson (still at school) suicided last week & his funeral was yesterday. 500 attended his funeral (most being school friends) .... yet he felt 'alone' and unable to share his fears.
Her blood pressure has gone thru the roof & is now on valium to help her thru this horrible period of grieving - on top of her recent Met BC diagnosis.
I hope everyone knows that even in the depths of despair - there are family & friends out there to help you thru the troubles ..... it was heartbreaking to see the sorrow yesterday at this lovely young man's funeral.
Sadly, he chose a permanent solution for a temporary problem. :(
