Hospital Visit

Mum is off to the hospital this morning at 9.

She's due to receive treatment for her spine (bone strengthening drugs) and also speak with the consultant for an update. Hopefully he'll have the results of the emergency MRI carried out on Friday.

Finger's crossed.

Update:

Sadly mum's spine is in fact worse than we thought. The oncologist has said it has deteriorated further but it is treatable however there is no cure. He proposes to start a course of radiotherapy in conjunction with the bone strengthening. He has also suggested that because of the state of her spine it may be necessary/possible to inject resin in order to provide some support. If they go ahead with this, it should help avoid any nerves becoming trapped as well.

One step forward, one back.
