Re: Help its back! after 10 years
Its weird to say "oh great, its a broken rib" but only us cancer folks can say that so, I'm so happy its a broken rib. You will be good as new soon. I am so happy for this outcome. Thinking healing thoughts for you.

Re: Help its back! after 10 years
Thank you Ladies !! I really appreciate your kind words. I have never been so pleased at having a broken rib! I having another CT scan in 3 months. They are going to check my bone density as it might have declined since the last one. I have osteopenia and take a weekly med and calcium.
We have just booked to take the kids away at Christmas to Florida! It makes you realise how I have taken people and life for granted. Love to you all xxx and thanks !

Re: Help its back! after 10 years
Amanda,
When I read your first post I was so sad. Then when I got to the post of the broken rib I had to chuckle, as everyone else posted "a broken rib" now that's good news....lol...ENJOY FLORIDA (one of my favorite states)

Hugs,
Jean
