Just wondered if anyone else can actually feel their cancer? When I lay down to sleep it feels sort of numb where the cancer is. No pain as yet, but it’s as if I can feel it.
I am so sorry to hear you have stage 4 cancer with mets in your spine and pelvis. Thank you for sharing your experience and I hope that you will hear from others on here who feel the same way as you and who can feel their cancer just as you described it. I am glad you are pain free at the moment but it must be an odd sensation to feel this numbness where the cancer is.
I will now let members of our community - many of whom I am sure will be able to relate to what you described - come and say hello and share their story with you.
If you feel any discomfort, don't hesitate to bring this up with your medical team and to tell them how you have this sensation that you can feel your cancer. They may have some helpful suggestions for you.
i was diagnosed with stage IV last July because I kept getting a persistent pain in my coccyx. Several hospital and doctors visits later I then had a private scan where it had by then spread further! I am taking meds to hopefully slow it down.
I get by biopsy results next Thursday. Does bone cancer spread and is your a secondary cancer. it’s not easy I know. I have been reading the side effects. They can’t be worse than the Chemo I was on 20 years ago. do you have support. my mind is calm for the moment. I hope you can find some peace. thanks sooo much for your support.
i believe any cancer can spread, but I am no doctor
i had breast cancer 12 years ago and was told that although I had a partial mastectomy, one rogue cell must have travelled. Hence getting cancer for a second time. What cancer did you have 20 years ago?
my family are very supportive, but I still have my bad days; today is one of them. I feel very ‘other’ and alone in this, even with their support.
sincerely hope you find some peace in this awful situation we find ourselves in.
I had breast cancer double mastectomy lymph nodes removed. Ovaries removed. can’t believe it has spread to my bones after 20 years. And I don’t have a pain or an ache I played golf 3 times last week. it’s great your family are around you. I will know more when I see the consultant on Thursday. meditation helps I am told but not doing it myself. I plan on keeping up my normal routine while I can. Semi retired aged 64. thinking of you. salky
Firstly I hope it goes well on Thursday. I have an oncologist call on 31st regarding results from an MRI!
I have not been able to go back to work yet as I had pneumonia alongside my diagnosis, was hospitalised and had to have a daily nurse for quite some time. Much better now, but it’s constantly on my mind.
however, I have my first grandchild due in June and am so looking forward to meeting him. Just hope I am still ok.
Gosh you are going through the mill. It’s great there is a grandchild on the way. Congratulations. I don’t have kids or grandkids but a load of grand nephews and grand nieces and I love them. I was at a confirmation of one them yesterday. His name is Iarla..that’s an Irish name. He is 12 and a beautiful kind boy mad for sport like me. hopefully you can get back to work soon. X
