Its all going wrong
I recently had a clear brain ct, but because of vision problems I am due to have a brain mri next week. Doc thinks the ct may have missed something.
Got results of my body ct scan today, not good, will get a full report tomorrow but there is cancer in the nodes in my chest. Am experiencing back pain also, middle and lower. So I think there will be no good news. I have had no break from this horrible disease since 2008 and it surely seems to be out to finish me off now. Thanks to all of you who have been such a help and inspiration. I am so glad there are so many positive posts here, I have got great consolation from them in the past.
