Where has it come from? Is it down to the second line hormone therapy [Bicalutamide] or the radiotherapy? Is it just the cancer in my bones? Probably it is a combination of them all. Whatever the reasons I'm shattered. All I want to do is rest. Small exertions leave me breathless. It is so frustrating. I hate it.
The radiotherapy ended last Thursday and I saw the oncologist on Wednesday. We decided to leave the next dose of Zometa for another four weeks to allow my bones to heal. At the end of the month I will be having a single dose of palliative radiation to the lesion on my right thigh. The dressings on my leg were changed on Friday and the wounds are healing well.
The bone pain that was dealt with by the first dose of Zometa is returning so I have had to up the pain killers. The numbness in my right lower leg is still there, along with, I think, oedema which has made it stiff as well. I have had a couple of good night's sleep which has helped.
I need to arrange a PSA test before I see the Urologist at the beginning of May.
