Hey everyone,
I posted here a while ago about me being worried as i was travelling for treatment to Great Ormond Street in London for treatment for my Neuroblastoma.
The jouney there and back went pretty well - i suprised myself. The initial chemotherapy wasnt what i was expecting, i felt ill and tired and very feverish, but my parents helped me get through it and the nurses were lovely. We were all really hopeful.
Last friday i had a bone scan and an xray as i was experiencing pain in my hip that was making my leg tingle and go numb. The doctors called us yesterday to ask us if we could go in to discuss the results of the scans.
We got there, feeling hopeful only to be told that not only did the last round of chemotherapy not work for the tumour round my spine, but the cancer has also travelled to my bones, and the reason i am in so much pain is because the tumour is making my bones weak and causing the "fermur" bone (or something like that) to gradually weaken and fracture.
We go to the hospital tomorrow (friday) to discuss more treatments options. This is my worst nightmare and i am absolutely terrified. I had my heart set on going to college in september.
Thanks for reading, i just needed to share :weep:
