Hi all!
It's been a while since I posted, think last was around Feb this year and had been experiencing back pain since returning to work... Several tests later and still no reason as to why this is happening, back pain has been debilitating and now on a slow release morphine!! Consultant initially thought stress fractures from all the chemo-radiotherapy and brachytherapy however nothing conclusive has shown. My iron and platelets are all concerningly low and I was also given a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy - still awaiting results of that, and now have a bone scan scheduled for next week.
I've been told it could be a new cancer (within my blood) a return of my original cancer (cervical) or that my body is taking longer to recover from the cancer/treatment I received and that my bone marrow may just be impacted? I feel like I have been left with 2/3 options cancerous and no follow on support during this time.. . Trying not to Google and hope that I have just tried to get back to normal far too soon since treatment (which ended in August 2016) and have maybe not given myself the full tlc I needed.
Just wondered if anyone else initially felt a high/good time following treatment followed by a boom/knock on effect of issues or side effects?
I've had some swelling in my legs (which they initially suspected dvt but later ruled it was just a result of all the treatment!) this has also cause slight swelling in my genital area too....Anyone else had this??
I feel I'm slowly falling back into a black hole again and despite trying to stay positive, I just really need ti know what's going on with my body!
I'm pushing for answers with all my strength, but I felt I needed to vent.... Don't want to burden family with all my what ifs....
