Hi how did you get on with the scan?

Hello, hope all is going well xxx, i get the results of my scan on Tuesday.... will let you know how i get on. Not expecting good news... but then i have had 2 wonderful years, so i should'nt be greedy. What will be will be.

Hi pls let me know how you get on xxx

Hello, well today i had some great news.....    The cancer in my lung has slightly shrunk and my hip is still the same.

He said to stop the zolodronic acid infusions every 4 weeks and now i am only taking morphine for the pain in my hip.

The oncologist said to have a ct scan in Dec and see him in Jan.

I am really pleased with this news, my hip has hurt a lot since the radiotherapy.

I keep giving people their christmas presents now so i will have to stop doing that and think to myself i will be here for christmas ( well hope so ).

My husband is very happy, love him so much xxx

Hope you are all ok x

Hi yes i hope so, we dont always get chance to spend time with mum as we ( 3 off us has to work all full time) so sometimes  hard but we go when we can, and ring her all the time and take her out on our days off, bit difficult for me as i dont have a car so a 5 min journey could be 50 mins, but we all do what we can, i am going to see her on Thursday before i start work, and sit with her for a while  when she has her chemo, good news for you, and i agree with you on this site, it does help
