Phew - glad I only have 2 legs

[Pam P]

Thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it so must have done something wrong. Wiil blame it on good pain meds.

Surgery went well. Internal fixation and gamma nailing - my surgeon calls it = basically putting a short rod in my hip and a long rod the length of my femur to stabilize it from the cancer damage.

I got to rehab Thursday, The first surgery on right leg in DEc, was more painful and longer recovery than this one on the left leg. I'm very happy with how well I'm doing at this point. Hope to go home early next week. The pt here is good so this is a big help to getting my leg strong again.

In 2 weeks my onc plans to take me off tykerb (he doesn't think it's working anymore) & start me on halaven,

Thank you everyone for all your well wishes, concern and care. Pam

Pam, glad to hear the second went better for you...maybe you are just adapting to all of this! For your sake, I am glad you only have 2 legs too! Hoping the Halaven works miracles for you...it seems to be well tolerated without alot of side effects. I get scanned next week so I will know what its doing to the inside, and whether I will continue! Sending healing thoughts a lots of prayers your way....may you be dancing by St Patricks Day!
