Bone Metastasis

Although I have Salivary Gland Cancer the Cancer eventually spread to my bones, this is bone metastasis. Bone Mets can be and probably will be a serious issue for me in the future. At present it does not give me loads of problems but I do get back pain which I take medication for. Potential problems will be bone fracture which I take a high does of vitamin C and D supplement each day and an injection once per month to reduce the risk of getting a fracture. I don’t want to end up in a wheelchair yet.

I have to be careful on what type of activities I am doing so not to get a fracture and to try and believe me I do try with great difficulty due to fatigue exercise as much as possible. It is a constant battle fighting Cancer, like yesterday when I had a  bit of emotional breakdown. 

Its hard to cope sometimes and yes sometimes you just want to give up, but Cancer cannot get the better of me. I have a family to look after and a son who is so completely focused on getting to the Olympics in the sport of swimming I can’t leave this earth yet. 

I’m his exercise trainer and need to see the seeds I planted in him many years ago grow and come to fruition. 

 So it is onward and upwards ‘Not Heaven Yet’😊 to push forward with this fight 🥋🤺🏊🏋️

So let’s do it and cast this Cancer out!

Exercise at Marie Curie Hospice

Just finished my exercise/physio session. The physio give me some massage on my face as I may have problems with the lymphatic system draining. My face gets swollen, another reason is the steroids I’m taking, I’ll be seeing the consultant next week to get advice. Exercise went well, 20mins on cycle and 5 mins on treadmill. 

Breathing was very heavy but heart rate didn’t relate to heavy breathing which tells the problem I still have with my lung. Heart rate was low around 115 bpm. I know I could work harder but the shortness of breath is keeping me back. 

Feeling good after exercise although I will probably have a sleep late.

Just a short post at the moment, I will post more again later
