Hi ladies
Had a rough time getting over all this treatment too. I don't think having multiple sclerosis helps!! Had backache since boxing day! They held off doing a bone scan as I thought it was ms symptoms and I was half way through rads at the time. by the time I saw them for the post rads review 6 weeks later I still had it, so, BONE SCAN Aagghh! Had it done and then went travelling around Europe for a month - fantastic! Got back from hols on Sunday (May Day bank hol) to find a letter saying 'Attend for a lumbar xray as there is something on the bone scan that they need more detail on'. Well the panic set in, the tears flooded and as it was bank hol I could not phone the onc. He finally called me back 3 days later!!! I hoped, as he had not rushed to call me, that all was ok. Thankfully he said it was not bone mets but they need to see what the problem is. I have had back trouble since I was 18 and 20 years in a nursing career has not done it any favours. It is getting better now but I managed to pull it on a rollercoaster ride at Disneyland Paris!
As for the hair, it is fifty shades of grey and I actuallty like it! I love not having to do much with it every day. I have kissed goodbye to the need for hair straighteners - hooray! Have my mammogram and onc appt for xray results on 3rd June so wish me luck.
Great news that you are coming through your first year checks fit and well. Lets keep in touch.
