Radiotherapy again

The x-ray I took last Friday shows islands of lesion at the bone area of the hips. Nothing new, the April 2005 bone scan showed metastasis to that area. Faxed the x-ray to Dr Selva. He asked to me see him today.

Met Dr Kana today as Dr Selva is not free to see me. Dr Selva had recommended radiotherapy to that area. Dr Kana pointed out that the radiotherapy need to be done to prevent pathological fracture to that weight-bearing part of the hip bone. If it fractures, things will bet really complicated.

So come next Monday, it will be my third radiotherapy on a part of my body. The painkiller is holding the pain at bay for the moment, allowing me to function relatively well.
