Here I am, back at cabrini day oncology, for my 4 weekly denosumab jab! Miserable day outside, so peaceful in here, waiting to go in.
This month I can really feel the muscle pain from the rads. Feeling mega tired, but trying to work through it. Been walking more, and perhaps that has been causing my hip pain. I noticed yesterday that the painful area.of.my hip was also hot! Hmmmm.
Well, should have been a quick jab and out...but I wanted to see the onc, to see what he thought about the pain and heat.
Somewhere for me to vent... On the 1st April 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer... April 2013 a bone scan confirmed bone mets (advanced breast cancer). So now facing a future shorter than I had planned. Fighting the good fight, and enjoying each day I have.

Milestone....going strong
October 3rd....I turned 50...wow...at the start of the year I wanted a big 50th bash....but now that seemed too much effort, and I preferred to spend time with those close to me.
Still just a number...I have been busy celebrating life.
An evening in town to see The Graduate with my wonderful man, also celebrating 25 years marriage.
Got my motorbike licence at last, no more L plates yay!
Back at work, and plodding away, it's a long term, and I'm already tired!
Blood test yesterday, xgeva next week... I am a bit concerned with my pain...particularly in my hip/lower back, but I have endone, and am taking that in the evenings, which gives me enough pain relief to go for a walk with Michael and Dexter. I love this time together, I love creating wonderful memories together.
I have been taking krill oil, and Wow, the bone and arthritis pain has hugely diminished, so now I can isolate my pain to more muscular. Probably from the rads! Although across my lower back are some tender spots. So now I can't work out if my muscle aches are purely from the rads, or exacerbated by the walks, a bit of both or?
So carrying on......
