I have always had a bad back with disc degeneration from being young.
This past 15 months I was diagnosed with HER2 breast cancer and have undergone lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and having phesgo injections until March.
In August I rang the GP about by back not because anything had changed, but I felt it was time to do something about it. Due to my history he ordered an urgent MRI but said he was doing so as a precaution. Had the scan mid October and was told would be reported on within 4 weeks. To be totally honest I totally forgot about it and wasn't overly worried as no news is good news. Then on Saturday. . 24 weeks after it was requested urgently I received a notification in my hospital app to say a result was ready .. it was the scan. Still naively unworried I read about how buggered my discs were and right at the end it said one disc had low density so they couldn't rule out metastasis!! I now have to have another one to see if there are any changes from October. I work for the NHS but I am truly gobsmacked !
