Not sure what happened in a matter of a few weeks but I now have in excess of five nodules on my back, a couple that are very painful. Not to mention pain in the lower spinal canal. They did an x-ray in the ER the other night when I couldn't get control of the pain, no cancer showed but they told me more than likely the pain was a sign of cancer in the spine and it would take a scan to show it. Hopefully I can get a pet-scan before my appointment on Wednesday of this week to check for sure. Dang-it, it was a great summer of building up strength and getting so much done around the house, celebrating my fiftieth birthday with family and just enjoying life without cancer. Wondering if miracles happen twice in ones life?
