Bad to the bone

[boeluen]

The combat continues. I found out this morning that I have metastases in my rib, hip, spinal column and femur. I really appreciate it that my doctors have the balls to tell me straight up. At least I know what I have to fight.

Today I had my first injection of Zometa. I'll have these injections once a month. I'll probably undergo radiotherapy and

Oh no. Shit.

Have they given you a prognosis?

*BIG HUGS and lots of strength*

[boeluen]

Nope, no prognosis. All I know is that "my case has worsened" and that these metastases are chronic. I should find out more, hopefully, on Monday.

*hugs* Thanks for the strength!

Well crap. But at least you know what you're up against now and are ready to fight it. The Zometa should be a good help to prevent fractures. If you need to cancel your trip, don't worry about it. Focus on you. *big squishy hugs*

Oh, hon. *many, many hugs*

[boeluen]

Thanks sunshine. *winks* I'll take all the hugs I can get!

Well...to say "that sucks" is probably the understatement of the century.

I have just deleted 3 seperate lines because the all sounded trite and completely lame. But I'm thinking about you and sending large hugs your way.

[boeluen]

Awwwww - thanks Patty. I've done the whole write, delete thing many times myself - I know how you feel. Thanks for your hugs and your thoughts.

Meep... so sorry it wasn't good news. Lucky you for having say-it-to-your-face docs though - we kept finding out, after Dad had recovered from various complications, that the docs hadn't thought he'd make it (if that's not grammar butchery). And it's like, er, you were going to tell us when exactly?

As always you are so strong it makes me feel pathetic, so go you! Thinking of you and wishing you all the medical luck we had still. *hugs loads*

[boeluen]

Yeah not knowing is the worst. I'm scared, I'll admit it - but I'm not going to back down in the face of this challenge or any other one that comes my way.

Thanks for the hugs! I'm really, really glad your dad is home and doing well.

[boeluen]

Why do you feel pathetic? One person's suffering doesn't make another person's more or less important or difficult to deal with. *hugs*
