I'm a Film Star / Bone scan results!

my macmillan nurse had arranged for me to go to the local hospice today and meet the Pallative care Doctor. She thought it would be good for me to meet with her and have a 'getting to know you ' chat. When i turned up she explained that today they were making a film about the hospice and would I like to be filmed. Well no stopping me there! I was interviewed both by the Dr and the film guy on what I got out of the Hospice /how cancer has affected my life / and How I cope.
Was great fun to do -if it helps dispell the myth that hospices are just for old or the dying I am more than happy to do that. Camera man said he wished he could film me all day (blush!) cos I had no problems talking. So i'm a Film star!
Once he left I had a really good, long chat with the Doctor. Shes increased my pain medication and given me something else for my cough.. We talked about prognosis and she's really positive about my chances. Its such a relief to hear that from a Doctor. Not doom and gloom for a change!
She had managed to get my bone scan result and it was fine! No further spread so whatever is causing the rib pain -it sure isnt cancer!. The Doctor thinks that I have strained my ribs by coughing so much. Combined with rads trauma is the most likely explanation. I am sooo pleased and thrilled. Broke down in tears and gave her a big hug.
We talked about exercise, raising my energy levels and trying to loose weight. We've agreed to meet reguarly which is great news for me. So nice to find a dr who is so easy to chat to. My onc doesnt ever want to be bothered by emotions or tears she just deals in facts. I am pleased that I have someone else in the medical profession to talk to.
Very happy - will have a few glasses of wine tonight to celebrate. Can now go on holiday amd not worry. As long as I find time for a rest once a day I know that I am going to be fine
