Another Scan

Have had a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation in the past six months and have just started on Femara on the 8th December...now after persistent lower back pain I am to have another Bone Scan. My lovely G.P wants to eliminate the chance of any nasties. I know it probably is nothing...but it is the waiting game again...Chrisx

  • I agree that it is probably nothing....it is probably the Femara, but I have only been taking it for three weeks...so not sure. I have the scan on Monday, so as you say it is like Limbo..waiting. I am pleased that my GP is so proactive. Thanks for your support. Chris.xx

  • I know just how you feel- had to have a bone scan before Xmas myself.Your life hangs in limbo till you open that envelope.It's our GP s being very diligent,which is a good thing but it scares the heck out of us.It's possibly the Femara causing your aches.My scan showed no cancer but lots of degenerative areas which I was downright happy about! Hope you can get it over with soon - I'll be thinking of you.Tonya xx
  • Thanks for your kind thoughts. Yes the waiting is horrible. I am trying to keep occupied..but have my 'moments'. I know that my GP is being very proactive and I am grateful for that. I am pleased that you are keeping well. Chris.xx
  • We can never really escape it can we? I had a scare recently with some bleeding,but it was nothing.However,like you say,it's the waiting that's the worst.Try to focus on other things,and I hope that it's all good for you,Cheers xoxRobyn
