How do you know?
good evening lovelies...just reading the different stories as I can’t sleep. I guess we all worry about this, but how do you know if your cancer has spread...to your bones or liver? Thank you Nellie x...
We all wonder that one.
Sometimes it's just found accidently when having investigations for something else.
But things to be aware of:
Pain that doesn't go away, like back pain, hip pain and often keeps you awake at night.
A fracture after a minor knock or fall.
Weight loss for no apparent reason.
Nausea that doesn't improve.
Yellow tinge to eyes and skin.
This is what I am aware of and been told by my oncologist but I'm sure other ladies will have more experience.
After a while every ache and pain you have you STOP thinking it's cancer spread. But it takes a while. I just decided I couldn't live thinking like that all the time and chose to believe I am cured. The stress I reckon would have killed me otherwise. Take care. Kath x
