Roger C Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have had pain in the back for a little while. Doctor sent me for an MRI. Called me today to say that there was some abnormality or growth in the spine. I asked if it could be mets from the lung or kidneys. He said if it is mets, it could be from either. Going for a pet scan on Saturday. Everything seemed be going good, now this. Anyone here has tumors on the spine from mets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh crap Roger. When will you get the results from Saturday's scan? I hope it is all a big mistake and you have arthritis or something. Try to let it go and enjoy the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Roger, I get so mad when I see a post like yours.........NOT AT YOU!!!!!! but at the doctor, why plant that idea in your mind even for a few days. When will they learn to control their tongues. Now a few prayers for you, Candle burning and I add a name to it. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh Roger, this is a hard one being you have two primaries. Makes it a little more complicated. But, I just wanted to offer some support and let you know I'm hoping it's nothing or something that can be treated easily. Keep us posted. Paryers coming your way!

Wendy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi Roger, I just hate when they make us wait days to have a scan - it is just so nerve racking!! Try not to worry too much until your results are back. Your problem might be something OTHER THAN CANCER. Personally I have had mets to my spine and pelvis. I was treated almost 2 years ago and the cancer is gone and so is the pain. A few weeks ago, I was having lots of pain in my neck, so my doc sent me for an mri - guess what "it wasn't cancer". I was told I had a few bulging disks in my neck and given anti-inflamatory and steroid drugs and I feel great again. Let us know how the scan goes. In the meantime, I have my fingers crossed that you will receive good news. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillise Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Roger, I will be saying a prayer that what they saw on the MRI is not mets. I know the wait can hard. We went through the same thing with my mom last Christmas. They told her there was "something" there about mid-December, but couldn't do the biopsy until the 2nd of January. We were a pretty worried bunch over the holidays. It stinks. Let us know what you find out. Mom got three weeks of rediation to her spine and it seems to have taken care of her mets.
