Don Wood Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 Well, folks, after having a good PET scan a few weeks ago, Lucie started having great pain in her right hip (this would be a new place, since the bone met on her hip is the left one). It gave us quite a scare, because if this was a new met, then it would indicate the cancer grew despite the chemo treatment. Well, the onc had us get x-rays of the right hip and the ribs (there was an uncertainty about the ribs, too). Lucie went today to have the scans done and the onc called us this afternoon! All clear! This does not answer why she is having pain on the right hip, but it is not due to tumor or stress fracture. Whew! Thanks for all your prayers, caring and support, guys and gals. It really helps us a lot. Don Quote

SandyS Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Don - I hope they figure out what is causing the pain and find a way to relieve it ASAP! Great news on the scan! SandyS Quote
Rosanne Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 That was a scare. Thank God it turned out ok. Rosanne Quote
kimblanchard Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Don and Lucie, congrats on the good news. It is wonderful to have some then and again, isn't it? Quote
Tracy Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Hooray Lucie!!! Thanks for the update Don....Love to hear it! Tracy Quote
ginnyd Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 So glad the news was great. I sometimes think that once you have been dx with a disease like this you become much more aware of every ache and pain you have. This may just be the old 'getting up there in years' pain but when you have LC it becomes an 'oh my God, I have a met' pain. But it is always smart to get it checked out. Hope you are recovering well, Don. Quote
Andrea B. Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Great news, Don! I pray that you will continue to receive good news! All the best to you both. Quote
shelliemacs Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 COULD THE PAIN BE FROM A NEW CHEMO OR SOME NEW MEDICATION. OR MAYBE EVEN WEATHER CHANGES??? THANK GOD NO NEW CANCER. Quote
Tiny Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Great news that the hip pain is not mets...now you can try to figure out the cause of pain without that monkey on your backs, at least. Sorry the Lucie is not comfortable. You guys be good to yourselves. Hugs and Comforting Sentiments, Quote
