I got sick of waiting for the Doctor to ring me with the results of my MRI scan. he said he would chase them during my last Cancer Clinic appointment, that was 6 weeks ago. It is now ten weeks since my scan.
I rang my specialist nurse Anita, who told me that the results were there but she couldn't interpret them. She would have to ring a Doctor who would get in touch with me. Simon my consultant rang me and apologised there has been some mix up and i should have been told the results sooner.
It seems that the results now show that I have something called a degenerative spinal condition. according to Simon this could be anything from Arthritis to a dissolving of the discs. It all sounds very big and horrible to me. I do have back pain, I do stumble when I walk and my hip hurts after being on my feet for a while. All of these Simon says could be factors in the condition that I now face.
Simon is refering my scan to a bone man for further analysis and has suggested I dont worry too much until we know for definate what it is that I am facing. (Easy for him to say). Well I am worried and I am thinking about it, it has been two weeks now since my conversation with Simon and the bone man still hasn't been in touch. I have a Cancer Clinic appointment on the 10th of September, if I don't hear anything before I think the big guns will come out. ITS MY LIFE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING TO ME.
