I’ve been away from the boards for a long while, trying to deal with ‘normality’ (getting a job, buying a house etc) but just lately, it all seems to have come crashing down around me…
The latest Jade Goody cancer story has also affected me a great deal.
I have had a few falls (bloody snow) that haven’t helped with my bone mets, the latest one was last Saturday when I fell down my stairs and my skull met with my concrete kitchen floor. Luckily for me, I had a full bone scan booked in on the Monday, so they marked additional notes on my file so they could check for fractures etc.
I’ve got an ultrasound scan next week on my organs too, as they are worried about an ovarian cyst pushing on my kidneys…
I’ve gone from ‘dealing’ quite well, to a complete mess again. I’m frightened that the results from this will be negative and I’ll have to start all over again with hospital visits every week…
I’m crying pretty much every day again and I’m sick of it.
I’m sorry to whine on here, I just appreciate that you ladies at least have an inkling of what I am feeling right now.
this really is a roller coaster we’re on isn’t it? I can imagine this whole Jade Goody circus making things worse for a lot of you in the UK.
Are you on biphosponates?
At least you don’t have to wait long to get bone scan etc. so you should know fairly soon if anything is wrong.
Of course you are worried and frightened, but even if the results are negative I think you’ll just get on with it as we all do. Not that we have a choice!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope the results come back positive.
Oh Poannie…I just sent you a PM before reading this.
So sorry you’re having a rotten time right now.
Hope you’re ok after your falls…I fell down outside last week, on the snow but I’m ok. Think you’re on bisphosphonates too? Hoping you’ve not got any fractures. Is it painful where you fell?
Are you able to have the ovarian cyst removed?
Yes I’ve just been reading the Sunday papers online and there’s more news about Jade in them today. All so very sad.
Hope your scans are much, much better than you expect them to be right now and you can be reassured by the results.
Take Care Poannie…Love Belinda…x

you are not whining. That must have really hurt hitting your head like that and been quite scary. Glad you happened to have a bone scan scheduled in for monday, it should give you reassurance that nothing was broken- do you feel OK where you fell?
I have been up and down myself recently and I know exactly what you mean, sometimes I am doing really OK and other days I am on the verge of tears the whole time. I think alot of us are like that - its normal to say the least. The only thing I have worked out is get alot of rest as its harder when you are tired.
