A bit anxious............

[Mary Jo]

Good Morning everyone,

I'm a bit anxious and needed to share with those who understand. I've been having an ache on the side of myleft thigh. If you let your arm hang down it's right where your fingertips go. It feels like a muscle but I have to admit it scares me a little bit. It's been bugging me for a few months.

The "reason it out" side of me says that if it were bone cancer I would have trouble walking/running. That it would hurt me and actually at those times it feels the best. When I get up from sitting it "pulls" or "aches" their but as I move it feels better. It doesn't hurt to lay on it but when I stretch my leg or pull it certain ways I can feel it. I'm on my feet a lot during a day - walking over 5 miles a day just at work - powerwalking/jogging etc. and no pain at those times. So................................................ ......you think it's nothing, right? I know I need to mention it at my next onc. visit (the end of Dec.) but the thought of tests and "looking" doesn't thrill me. We'll see how it is by then but for now just looking for some reassurance from the people who have been through it. This is the part of this "journey" that often ticks me off. The "what ifs" the "what now" times, ya know? Oh well, I'll leave it with the One who has my life in His hands and just trust that all is alright. I'll deal with whatever comes my way (like I have any other choice) and continue on my "merry" way.

Thanks for listening everyone. I'd like to hear what you have to say about it.

Praying for God's Peace to hold each of us as we journey along.

Mary Jo
