pewjumper Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I usually don't post every time mom has a scan, though I always find myself here lurking during those times. This time, though, I'm a bit concerned. She's been complaining some time of back/hip pain. Every X Ray and CT has been clear and we've chalked it up to her weight gain (she has gained some weight since her diagnosis. I'd say how much but if she ever saw that she'd kill me.) Her oncologist yesterday said that he didn't think it was cancer related but he'd do a bone scan just to be sure. I don't know, there's just something nagging at me and I'm concerned. Please keep us in your thoughts right now. We should have results today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlemike Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I sometimes have alot of lower back and hip pain also. Ny last bout lasted about 2 weeks. Right before my scan. I just knew the cancer had returned but fortunately I got good scan results and the pain has disappeared.I pray your Moms is nothing also.

Kasey Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'll be rooting for her, Mitchell, But I do believe that this 'pain' she's experiencing is a common factor for many of us. I think it's just part of ths whole "game". Game ~ yeah ~ RIGHT. But be sure to let us know. In the meantime, tell her I wish her the BEST of luck with it.

fillise Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ok Marshall, let us know. I'm betting this is garden variety back pain, but we all know how the fears never go away so, I'll say a prayer and you come back and give is the good news--ok?

ztweb Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 So here is my two cents... Weight gain after chemo, in my opinion is great. (Read Don's post about skinny cows and not-so-skinny ones!!) My dad has been struggling with his back, and his doc has looked everywhere, to no avail. He has gained back a bit of weight, but not too much...and the doc thinks it is that, with the sitting around that he does and the not-working of his back muscles. It is normal to be scared, but as Geri says, scared gets you nowhere....easier said of course! Blessings and prayers. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mitchell- Well, what else can we say about scan time??? There has to be a better way to do this and not worry ourselves to death!! I just got my scan results yesterday - Stable - but I was worked up SO bad because my "lung area" has been hurting pretty bad. And guess what - NOTHING!!! Could be muscular, could just be the nature of the disease or could be from the chemo - who knows - but as long as its not progression - fine by me. So see - we just worry so much about every little ache and pain - its crazy!! And I know that its easy to tell you not to worry - this time yesterday noone could tell me that and convince me. So hang in - let us know ASAP - and I hope and pray that Mom's scans are the BEST!! Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 we've chalked it up to her weight gain (she has gained some weight since her diagnosis. I'd say how much but if she ever saw that she'd kill me.) Smart son Mitchell!! Glad they are checking things out and hope your mind will be put at ease soon. You know I'm always thinking of you and your Mom. (But didn't know you had such beautiful baby-blues! ) Let us know. Prayers all the way around.

pewjumper Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 No word from the doctor today. She called twice but they never called back. Seems that if something were wrong, they would be a bit more diligent about giving us the results. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
