new development surgery on Saturday
I've been having pain in my upper right thigh for a few weeks. Had an MRI. The onc. sent me to ortho surgeon. Lots of tumor in my femur; small stress fracture starting too. I'm to not put weight on it & get surgery asap. So it's scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. They will put a rod in the bone to stabilize it. I will be in the hospital 3-4 days they think, then may come home to to rehab depending on how I do.
I'm scared and mad. I don't know what to expect with pain, but I'm sure it's awful. And I don't know what to expect with recovery either.
I'm thinking of you, Chelee, as you've been through this - please give me any info you can on what to expect. Are there others who had had this surgery too?

Pam
I'm so sorry, my friend faced the same thing and delayed it and literally felt her bone snap while on the phone, she had the surgery but took a while to heal and was in a wheelchair for a week or so.
She would'nt have had this happen had she gone in when told!!!
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping for a quick recovery ((((hugs)))0

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam,
I'm so sorry to hear about your femur. I can relate to you being scared and mad. In cancerland it never stops it seems! If possible make sure you have an Orthopedic Onc doing the surgery that has experience in this. Might be good to have it biopsied too.
I was told 3 or 4 days in the hospital too but it ended up being 6 days total. My surgery turned out to be much more involved because the mass was so big. My surgery went well but I had more blood loss then they planned on. But my Ortho said they have to do alot of digging and scrapping in there. You will probably have a rod from top of femur to knee placed like mine it sounds like? I will be honest with you...it is pretty painful post-op. But while your in the hospital they "will" take care of your pain rather well. It's when you go home you want to make "sure" you have something more then vicodin. I had more pain then I expected once I was home moving around on my walker. I have steps all over in my house which didn't help.
But like alot of things...you may do just great and have very little pain unlike me? Look at some of us that are incapacitated during chemo, and then those that are going to work and feel ok. Everyone is so different. I think the worse for me was the post-op pain and the down time of being stuck to the walker. I was back down starting chemo in 15 days post-op. It's really good you had it checked out and caught it before it broke. That's a good thing in your favor even if it doesn't feel like it now. If you have any questions I can help you with just ask. But hang in there Pam...your a real trooper...you will get thur this.
Chelee

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Oh gee !! I am so sorry Pam. It sounds like it is better to take care of the problem now rather than later.
Don't let this get you down. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery. I hope 2011 will be a healthier year for you. Take good care of yourself.

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Dear Pam,
I am growling out loud for you. I hate this crummie news, but from what I have read in the posts above, there is the good part...nothing broken. I just reread your signature details. It seem like you have had more than your share of obstacles. Please hang in there and we will all hope and pray that the doctors make this as pain-free as possible. Thank goodness for the advice from Chelee and others. All the very best on Saturday. Big hugs and love and support coming your way.
Catherine

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam; my heart is sinking reading this news You have to have this operation but there is no reason you should suffer. Be very clear with the surgeons and doctors about that: during the hospital stay and once back at home. Have them tell you now what they intend to do about that precisely about pain.
I don'y care anymore of what the surgeons think of me: a coward, a pain in the neck, a nut: I just say I DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER. I am sending you hugs and love. Michka

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
The doctor said when I leave the hospital ( he said it's usually 3-4 days, Chelee was there 6) I can only go home if I have someone with me all the time ( he didn't say for how long - a few days, a week, ...?) otherwise I need to go to rehab.
I have my son and his wife and their 2 children ages 2 & 3 living with me. So there's lots of people around, but it's busy and hardly peaceful. My son works during the day, and my dil is busy with the kids, works part time too. My other son is a teacher and will be on vacation from 12/23 - 1/2 so I think he can help a lot of that time. You are right now over the holidays friends are busy with their own family plans. After new years I think I could arrange for some friends to come and help me if needed. I dont like the idea of going to rehab but if I'm in a lot of pain and can't get around maybe it would be better for a few days at least. It's all so unknown I can't anticipate how much help I'll need how much or little I'll be able to do and what I'll be able to tolerate.

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam, I am so sorry to hear this news. I was really thinking about you and praying that it was not cancer. I know you are very strong and will work your way through this. You have had much more than your share. I will be praying for you. I agree, make sure you have all the pain meds you need. Best wishes. Mary L

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Hi Pam. I'm so sorry you are having to do this. I can't offer any practical advice----you've already received some great input. I just wanted to send my wishes for a totally successful surgery, with minimum pain and a good recuperation. Sending hugs too. If you don't mind, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Understanding the scared and mad. You are entitled.
I agree with the others about being sure to have ample pain meds at hand and to take them regularly in order to stay ahead of the pain.
Rehab might not be a bad idea if you are covered for it. Might be more restful than home during these hectic times and you would get a head start on physical therapy there perhaps. And pain management. Could be worth exploring as an option. Most of all, keep the faith.

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam,
My heart really goes out to you...I know how scary this all is for you. But you are going to need help doing everything for a while. Your doctor is right when he said you need someone with you all the time. (Very good advice.) Your not going to be up to doing much of anything by yourself--I can almost guarantee that. I was pretty much incapacitated for a good two wks.
If you will feel more at ease going to a rehab for a wk or so then do that. (Actually it might be a good idea.) That way you will get some good pain relief and around the clock care till your feeling better. You will get more rest that way too.
To be honest I didn't want to come home when I was released...but they booted me out anyway. Talk this over with your family and figure out what is best for you. I'm just so sorry you have to go thru this...you have had more then your share. Becky made a good point about the Holidays--and wanting a script for a stronger pain med "just in case". Very good idea. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, you can count on that.
Chelee

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
You might want to mention you are prone to constipation and have heard Relistor can block the constipation that opioids can bring. Of course, you will secretly be taking it for other reasons that will not be appreciated:

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam,
If you are able to access a computer and see this...just know I've had you in my thoughts and prayers all day--and I will continue them. Since I went through that same type of surgery I have had you on my mind all day. I hope this finds you doing as well as expected and comfortable. (While your in there...any time they ask you what your pain level is...tell them a 10.) lol (While your in there you might as well enjoy it...right.)

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam, sorry to hear about your need for surgery. My sister just had a (non cancer related) hip replacement and the week or so of rehab was really important for the intensity of physio and for her to get her head around not over doing things and giving surgery best chance of success-she can be a full on can-do person at the expense of her health. Take it easy and give yourself time for good recovery and surgical reslu. All the best,
Trish

Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Pam,
Didn't know if you have access to the Internet while in the hospital. Just wanted to check on you and hope everything works out as planned (that your son is available to take care of you for two weeks)
Be sure to take your pain medicine on time. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
