Hi Everyone,
Thank You all for your posts. I really appreciate the support!
It turns out that I have some arthritis in my hip, no cancer in that area. Yeah!!!
My onc was very excited, telling me it's only arthritis! I have to say that although I agree it's strikes me as odd to be excited about having arthritis and pain. Cancer really puts a strange skew on the way we think or at least the way I think!
Take care,
Jamie

    YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA!!!!

    Still ANOTHER naked happy dance....

    Oops, threw my hip out...can I join you later????

    Yes, it IS strange when we are happy about something that in other people, not touched by the beast, would be devastating! I was saying to someone "Well, after all, it was JUST plain old normal breast cancer"....she burst out laughing...

    Hugs, Kathi

    Jamie -

    Congrats on having arthritis (you're right... that's pretty weird). I got arthritis in my hands as a result of chemo. I amcurrently taking "Clinoril" for it. Clinoril is also used as a suppressive therapy against the recurrenceof colon cancer. It has been shown to be more effective than Celebrex in inhibiting recurrences - something to talk to your onc about.

    That's wonderful news. If the pain in the hip continues they may be able to do an injection to help.

    Hi Jamie,

    Yes we are all a strange bunch hoping for what "normal" people get. Happy dance here too. I'm glad it is "only" arthritis. HUGS and hope the pain is regulated soon.
