Now I know.......
« on: July 23, 2009, 01:06:09 am »
I now know the anguish that Peter and Deidre were going through a while back. I wish them both all the best and hope to see you soon.

With my situation, last year I was seeing a Chiropractor to straighten my back, but when work dried up, could no longer justify the expense. So 2 weeks ago I went to my Doc about a foot problem and mentioned my back problem in passing hoping I could get treatment (physio) on the NHS.

Within 24hrs I had xRays, 4 days later called in for blood tests and to see the Specialist - she's not happy with the Doc as she did not organise the tests.

Full skeletal scan next wednesday as they think I have Myeloma which is a bone marrow cancer.

I am shi**ing myself at the outcome of the scan. Obviously the blood tests showed significant amounts of stuff I shouldn't have such as paraprotien etc.

Peter, I now know the anguish that you went through. I didn't understand before for which I now apologise.



At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy sh*t Leftie. I know through my better half what you (and Peter) are going through. Wishing you all the best.

Christ that's awful, absolutely shocking news of the very worst kind. I really hope the tests come back negative. Fingers crossed, pecker up and all that kind of thing.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Sorry Leftie, I read your first post too quickly as the anguish that Peter Andre was going through and I just couldn't see the similarity ::)
Wishing you all the best and fingers crossed too.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here

Here's hoping the scan shows it's not Myeloma.
