I haven't posted for quite awhile,but I have been lurcking.
I love all of you guys dearly, but I was getting so depressed, (there were a number of our friends passing at that time) I guess you can call me a whimp.
I have had a lot of back pain for a couple of years and have been taking meds for it, but for the last couple of months the pain has been terrible and the morphine isn't helping at all. Plus I have been getting terrible headaches, and my sister was dx with stage4 lung cancer in Dec. with mets to the brain so that worried me too.
Anyway I went to a neurologist and he put me thru a series of tests 2 of them being MRI's of the cervicle and thorasic spine. The report stated that T8 & T1&2 Had metastatic lesions and T8 was very bad.
Also C4 & 5, and C5 & 6 had bulging and were completely compressed. The neurologist has told me to go back to my radiation onc. and also has made me an appointment with a neurosurgeon because in his words, he's afraid that my spine will pop and I will be paralized.
I have an appointment with my radiation onc. monday and the neurosurgeon weds.
I have been getting good reports as far as the lungs go.
I hope that even tho I seemed to have deserted all of you, I will still have your prayers.
I don't know why I said that I know that I will.
Love to all of you.
