Well, it's like this
ok, it's gone from what the to.....it's like this.
My bone scan was yesterday.... The injection, a primary scan, then come back in 4 hours.
Back track a few days... Monday, my Mother in law fell and broke her hip. Lying in the rain, she called the ambulance and the neighbours. The neighbours provided blankets and an umbrella to keep the rain off.... What a woman.
Tuesday,I'm a member of the local SES, and I acted as the trapped person in a vehicle, while they held my head straight until they cut me out of the vehicle in the pretend scenario. That night, my Mother In Law had a pin and plate operation to her hip, what a busy day.
Yesterday, bone scan, initial injection, visit the Mother In Law whose hip operation was successful....whew glad she's okay.
Today? Phone call from my oncologist.... Come and see me as soon as you can today.....his office is 1 hour drive away, my husband had to drive the school bus and couldn't find a replacement, so I rounded up the closest friend I could find and drove down the highway.
Once we got there I asked that I go in by myself, trying to stay composed. The news isn't great...bony mets in 5 different places. Explains my pain vividly....will change from Arimidex to Tamoxifen, as the current melds are not working, then monthly injections to support my bone density. Referral back to my rads oncologist for rads and possibly a trial.
Drove home for 100 km with my friend who was absolutely wonderful. On getting home to my crying husband...received a call from my rads oncologist also upset. He will ring tomorrow to discuss what happens next.
1. Hospital for 4 days to put in a pain management plan
2. then onto rads to shrink my bony tumours
3. CT of pelvis, abdomen and thorax, and some blood tests
4. Possibly a clinical test to manage my chronic condition
What a week... Hopefully not to be repeated...my head is spinning, my husband and I are numb
Rise above it and try to move forward.......What the

- AnonymousNot applicableThanks so much ladies, my darling hubby took me out for breakfast today and I'm trying to get my head around what to pack for the week. Might have to be the old faithful Tracey dacks and some t-shirts. The art gear goes in as well....of course.
Travel to Melbourne tomorrow, lunch with the kids, then check in at 3pm. Prepare for a busy week with hopefully positive results.

Once we get onto it, I'll be able to sleep better and get more on top of things.
