Re: I've had my chest x-ray
Well I find myself in the same situation as I was once in before: awaiting MRI results - it didn't go so well last time.
No problems this time with arm movement but I've noticed my neck and back being very stiff outside - making it difficult to turn my head and see if any cars are coming. And my gait is different.
I'll walk what I think is a straight line but I'm actually veering to the left and have to correct myself. Similarly, in the house, I'm always misjudging distances and banging into furniture (not too painfully but enough so that I notice it.)
Tomorrow the Consultant won't have the CT scan results as I was too ill to go but he'll have my bloods and my MRI results - enough to tell him whether the original tumour has gone, or metastasised into different places. I don't feel too confident, but I should sleep tonight; I've learned to sleep when I can as I await these results. I'm exactly halfway through the R-CHOP therapy + Methotetraxe treatment so he should have some idea as to how I'm doing.
I keep telling myself that I've been here before, but I haven't - that was a far easier to treat cancer; this is something quite different.
