Life - is it metastasis or not
Life has been one heck of a roller coaster since I was on here last, Just when I had been back at work and full steam ahead with life and plans and Feeling great about life. Then is went to trash. This year I lost my dad in May to Esophageal cancer it took a year, then My Brother in August lung cancer (well actually the cancer hadn't got him yet but the pneumonia did.
then to top it off at my annual oncology check I mentioned that my tailbone seemed tender, more often ( i had put it down to sitting at the desk for too long without moving. got sent off for a bone scan the result possible metastasis on tail bone plus a small spot on sternum so off to have CT with contrast same result, this time with measurements.
Back to the Oncologist tomorrow for the next step whatever that may be.
Such is life

- As the Dr put it we are not going to do a biopsy to tell us what it is, as the original tumor was fairly aggressive, and to do the biopsy would be difficult and painful. next step radiation oncologist for planning etc
change of medication from anastrozole to tamoxiffen and a slow release pain medication and just go from there. We now go to the treat as we go.
