Hi Merry, it’s good to be in touch with you. My last treatment was at the end of last Oct. I have had a brain MRI & an upper & lower spine MRI since then because of back aches. There is a suspicious reading on one of the vertebrae. Now waiting to hear back from MAYO in Jacksonville about next step. Praying that it is not bone Mets. Don’t know what is causing the head aches. Drinking more water to stay hydrated & drinking protein drinks for more energy. Of course strong faith & daily prayer helps.

@lady1lake- Good morning. It's good to be in touch with you once again. I'm sorry that you have headaches and backaches. I hope that you hear back soon about the scan results and your next step. Sometimes scans pick up very strange readings. Shortly after my first cancer, and way before my second one I had a scare because the CT picked up, what looked like another tumor. Bit it wasn't It was just a shadow. Drinking a lot of water and a sensible diet ate positive ways to keep control of how you feel. I hope that you have painkillers if you need them. Please come back and let me know what your next step is. Hugs
