Hi Freckledone,thanks for updating , I know how you feel as I feel the same I feel like I have been kicked everywhere, I had my last cycle last week, also lost my appetite, white blood cells are always low- I started drinking ensure supplements to try and maintain my weight, and also been offered help from cancer care nurse with exercise to build myself up but I haven't got the energy just yet - the thing I am finding the hardest is I will now have to wait 6 weeks for a scan and then probably 10 days for results. I do hope you start to feel better soon and o am wishing you well.

Thank you Rebecca. Please keep me updated. 

Hello. It’s been a while since I sat and put anything on this forum and I apologise for that because I know that it was good for me to put down in writing what I was going through. 
I had my last chemo session in December and I got to ring the bell which was a very satisfying day.
During December I started to get severe back pain. This began to get worse after my last treatment. I spoke to my doctor and I was prescribed various painkillers including patches. These had no effect and I was eventually given morphine tablets and morphine syrup to take as required. This really started to slow me down but it was still not reducing the pain. I was sent for an MRI in January and it showed that I had 3 fractured bones in my spine. The probable Cause of this was the chemotherapy. I was given a zoldronic acid infusion to strengthen my bones. 
I contined on the strong medication but the pain was so much that I was admitted into hospital and I was seen by a specialist spinal department who put me on a waiting list!

We also saw the haematologist who told me that there was no evidence of disease. This should have been a jubilant day but the back pain was causing so many problems.

 I was sent for another MRI and x-rays. I was seen by 2 consultants. One was at a specialist spinal unit. He said that I had at least 3 fractures and he recommended a procedure called Elevative Balloon Kyphoplasty. This involved inserting a needle into the collapsed bone, filling it up with a balloon and then injecting cement into the cavity to fill the gap and to stabilise the bone. The consultant believed the damage was caused due to a mixture of the cancer and the chemo. 

Four weeks ago I underwent surgery. The consultant said that he would fill the bones that had collapsed. He eventually filled 6 bones. The surgery took 5 hours. The difference was immediate. I have been able to sit up straighter but the jubilation was short lived. I feel that I have not progressed much in the last 4 weeks. The wounds have healed up and so I am allowed to go swimming and do exercises in the pool as well as use an exercise bike. 
We saw the consultant again last week and after another x-Ray he wants me to see the haematologist for a follow up as he has concerns for another 4 bones in my spine. 
I was due to have follow up appointments after being told there was no evidence of disease. I have called to arrange this but I have been told that I don’t need so many follow up appointments and that I am on a list. 
I have a phone appointment tomorrow with a rheumatologist who might be able to chase up the haematologist. 
I have not been able to reduce my pain medication at the present time. 

Sorry it’s not the best news after my treatment. It’s been a long 12 months since my diagnosis and I was hoping by now I would be back on my feet and getting my “normal” life back. It’s just another obstacle that I am sure with the help of my ever supporting wife we will get through.
