I had an MRI done on my T-spine {that is the middle part of the spine} done a couple of weeks ago to find out why I was having so much pain in that location. We were hoping for the best but anticipating bad news. When we got the results back, and the results are that the lesions in that area look good. Some have shrunk, some are the same and some show actual healing!! {emphasis by her daughter} NONE HAD GROWN!!!
The pain is coming from nerve damage and muscle inflammation. My oncologist has referred me to a pain management Doctor. This new Doctor has changed some of my medication. Today I had a Facet injection ~ he gave me a pain medicine with steroids in my spine right in the location of the major pain. Okay, so that wasn't all that great {actually, it really hurt } but it is working.
We are all so excited that it is just pain that can be managed and treated! The cancer although it is still there, is not getting any worse. Yipee!!!
Oh yeah! and my hair {on my head} is coming back. I have actually had it trimmed a couple of times just so it is growing out with some type of style?
Once again it is great news in my world.
