just checking in

[tom c]

Just checking in, it's been a while.
It's been 1 year and 6 months since I lost the left one, I go for my 2 month blood work and ct scan. Every so often I am told my bcgh tumor markers markers are up, they send me for a ct scan, pet scan , redo blood work, so far it has always been the blood work that was wrong (False positive)
I have swelling in my neck area and some pain in my hands and in the bone in my arm near my bicep, it may be arthurtris? Thats what my oncologest said it was, but when you have cancer you always wonder if it is the cancer coming back. I feel I was lucky not needing any chemo but still find it hard to deal with not knowing what the future holds for me, my dad has bladder cancer, plus had lung cancer 10 years ago, mom died of breast cancer at the young age of 50, It is 4:30 in the am and I still can't sleep even know I am cancer free after 1year and 6 months wondering why my neck swells up.
There are no guarrantees in life I tell my dad to go with the flow and enjoy life the best you can.

Good to hear from you, Tom. I'm sorry to hear about the false positive scares -- but glad they were just scares, not a recurrence.

[tom c]

Thanks Scott, hope everything is going well with you.

Bone pain

Tom, it's strange that I get that sort of arm pain also. It's in my right arm on the inside under the biceps. Sort of dull & seems to be right on the bone. I wonder if that is TC related somehow...
