I have secondary breast cancer, so my care is palliative now. I'm having my first full bone scan today. I'm a wimp and scared of needles! I have pain in my right side and my lymph system is in fighting mode. I'm usually cheerful but sometimes it's difficult. I have wonderful family and friends who are supporting me so well. Please think of me today if you will. Moyra

Lying on the rigid bed while the scan was done took about fifteen minutes and it was quite painful as my back is not right. Still, it is all over now. Results on the 8th, after I have also had a CT scan, which will be done on the 6th Dec. Will let you know what I'm told. Moyra
I've been told that I have over a litre of fluid in my right lung! I am to have it removed on Thursday 8th December, staying in hospital overnight. I'm then to speak to the consultant again on the 15th December. Sounds crazy, but I'm overjoyed that they can do something to help me. I've been in a lot of pain and have been so breathless I've had to be pushed around in a wheelchair when visiting the hospital. I've got wonderful friends who are keeping me cheerful throughout. I hope I'll feel a lot better once my lung has been drained. :-) Moyra
My heart goes out to you Moyra. When I've read about your problems in the past and now, it puts all my moaning about pain to shame.
Keep your chin up, as I know you will. You've been so brave in your previous posts.
I hope that you and your family have the best Christmas ever, even if it is the last thing on your mind right now.

nobody here but us insomniacs! I'm glad they've been able to give you some treatment - three litres, good heavens.
I do hope you drop off. Being awake late is a nuisance, but in a hospital it must be very frustrating. Do you have akindle to read or something?
Best wishes... I'm off to bed, with my fingers crossed.
