The news is not
improving. On Thursday I went for the ultrasound. I was told it was
inconclusive. They would be letting my GP know. Yesterday I had a phone call
from the GP.
The ultrasound had
in fact shown something suspicious. She wanted to do further tests. She asked
how I had understood things so far. I couldn’t help commenting that I had the suspicion
everyone was pretty sure I had bone cancer but was afraid to tell me. She
confirmed that was the case.
The cause is almost
certainly the radiotherapy I had as a result of my breast cancer a few years
ago.
The only question
that remains is how far advanced it is & therefore what can be done to
alleviate the situation. For that there’s a whole lot more tests to be done.
They all should be done soon, probably within the next fortnight, as the
requests have all be marked urgent.
The next tests are
for bone density. They have been scheduled on Tuesday.
I’m now expecting a
whole stream of appointments in the near future. Hopefully at the end of that
we will have a clearer idea of where to go from there.
