Be careful with those old bones!!!

Well as I said I have been having pain in my upper arm and hip; finally had a bone scan last week and was called into an emergency appt this Tuesday.

After the pain increasing to a point where I am now on morphine and struggling to do tasks - they agreed also to X-ray both areas before my appt this week.
Then told me that I have a tumour in my left humerus bone (very invasive and not rushing to operate on due to my lug / bronchus mets), and mets in
a bone in pelvis area which explains the pelvic/hip pain. I will be having radiotherapy to both areas and they have fitted me with a cast/splint to my left
upper arm to offer support / prevent a possible fracture. I have been advised to wear it at night as well (not very sexy)- but am just getting use to the day time first and may need that extra support during radiotherapy. They are trying there best to allow me to still have movement to allow me to drive etc for as long as possible - yeh I like to have my wheels !!

After radiotherapy they may consider looking into surgery further - but I would not be eligible for a spinal anaesthetic as it would be too high a position in my back, and not sure if my lung function would allow for a general anaesthetic. Blood iron low so on iron tablets as well and rattling with all the medication.

I just feel as though it is all not real at the moment - why do I keep having unusual mets? in silly places that they do not expect and because Epithioloid
Sarcoma is one of the rarer Sarcomas there is even less research etc. Anyway I really do not know what to say to family and friends - as I gradually
become more disabled by this Sarcoma, and get tired easily; yet put on the happy face and try to live normally, with laughter and the hope to try and fight on (feeling sorry for myself and those close to me - sorry).

You may well ask "what next?"; but do not be afraid to ask me questions or talk about the `C`word - we all need support.
