Update-from my scan

Hello dear ladies. I received the results from my scan. Doc called me, she usually does not call. She said that while some areas have improved, she is concerned because the treatment is not as effective as she feels it needs to be. There is one area in particular that has progression, the left femur bone. She wants an MRI done and an ex-ray. I am having the MRI done this Sunday morning. They usually don't have MRIs on Sundays, she must have marked it urgent. My head is spinning because I've been trying to help my dad, but I might have to think of someone who can help him if I can't. Anyway, wish me well, and pray for those who do. Of course, I feel anxious.

So sorry to hear this news Susie..It sounds like they are reacting very quickly which hopefullyy means you won't be waiting too long for the results. Progression is tough and having to consider a new treatment is a process we all dread...The combination of both is just a mix of anger, fear and frustration... Can't help with praying but will send you as many good vibes as I can from over the pond..

Hi Susie

Sorry you’re having to have this worry but until you’ve had your scan and result you can’t know and it may not be bad news

I’m in a similar situation and have to change medication...I’m off my head with worry which doesn’t help anything

I wish you well and do let us know how you get on

Hi Susie,

I wish you all the best with your scan. I'm glad you are able to get it done so quickly. Your oncologist sounds like she is on the ball. If this treatment isn't working I hope that whatever comes next will work for you. We all have to deal with the anxiety that comes with this disease, but it doesn't make it any easier does it? Please let us know the outcome.

Take care and I shall be thinking of you,

Sophie 💓

It's difficult not to think the worst when you're in the land of the unknown but the roller-coaster ride we are all on means that the worst does not necessarily materialise. Sending love and prayers.

It is so helpful to have someone with medical knowledge chime in and explain reasons for things. Thank you.

I agree. Over the holidays things may be ramped up. It is a good thing that they are looking into it right away. Thinking of you over the holidays.

I am sorry to hear you are having some progression. But, you have areas that have improved so meditate on how good you are actually doing and don't worry if one area is lagging behind. Believe you will get well. If the other areas are improving it means all of the areas are going to eventually improve. In the book CURE it stresses how important positive thinking is. Stay happy. Hugs and best wishes for a happy holiday season.
