NED Partially blocked abdominal aorta. Fractured wrist. I'll take the NED and run with it Will have to work on getting my cholesterol down with diet, as I am allergic to all Statins. And my wrist is braced and hopefully will heal soon. They think it was caused because the bones have been damaged by Chemo. Not surprised! So, all in all, I would say a good day. Tru |

Not totally sure...
but I think it happened while doing push-ups. My Doctor told me that the bones can become brittle due to chemo, and easily fractured or broken. I didn't feel anything until I woke up with wrist pain.
The x-ray also showed a healed fracture in the same wrist. I have no knowledge of any injury. Interesting, to say the least.

Unknown injuries like that
Unknown injuries like that are scary. Pushups, while seemingly simple, do put a lot of stress on your wrists. I want to start them up again myself. I have been a little afraid because of the illeostony. Still wanting to order the stealth belt first.
ive sprained my wrist and it took about 6 weeks to heal and then another to heal mentally. I don’t know whether a fracture is faster or slower. I’ll take it easy on the weights.

Wonderful news
Congratulations, Tru. I've been following your journey as my husband is undergoing chemo for colon cancer now, so I've been needing to absorb as much info as possible to hopefully help support him along the way. All the very best. You deserve it.

Sorry to hear about your wrist!
and of course your partially blocked abdomial Aorta. Can they perform the angioplasty to open it up?

Bitter/Sweet
Well that news seems to be bitter/sweet but all in all it's good. Yes everything is changed by chemo. My eyes have gotten so much worse, but neuropathy drives me batty if I'm not able to get my meds on time, my memory has gone to heck (wait they could be my age too LOL). I'm so glad that things are going well for you. Time to celebrate. WTG on such a good appointment and enjoy your NED. You've come a long way and deserve lots of congrats

NED, YES!
I am so happy that you started out with NED. Sorry about the other 2 issues, but they can be dealt with. For me it felt like some one took a hundred pound backpack off of me, when I heard the NED from my onc.
I wish I knew how to place a dancing yellow thingy, I would!!!

it is true
A lady asked me why I could be so happy with a broken wrist, and I told her, 'A broken wrist alive is better than Cancer dead.'

Woo hoo on the NED.
wonderful NED news! I don’t know what to say about the other news. I too have terrible neurapathy in my feet and my digestion definitely doesn’t quite work like it used to. And the aches and pains are more than I remembe. People hear the good news about the NED and don’t realize the battle scars we tolerate even after “beating” cancer.

Pushups? Yeah I need to start
Pushups? Yeah I need to start them, maybe I'll buy those handles they have so I don't suffer a like injury. Sit-ups would be good too now that I'm nearing three months from the hernia/mesh stuff. I'm about out of excuses. Anyway NED is wonderful and I'm glad you have the dancing squad going strong.................Dave

Congrats on the NED
I hadn't heard about the bone degradation with chemo, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised on that one. It is pretty harsh stuff. I will have to look into another side effect and how to combat it now.
Still, a good day!
