The next event...
So following surgery I had a bone scan that revealed widespread cancer in my spine, ribs, pelvis along with some compression fractures in my spine. With this I have had some lower back pain and it was determined that I should have a procedure called kyphoplasty and they would take a bone biopsy at that time to determine that the cancer that was showing in my bones was the same as what was in the breast...that it hadn't changed characteristics and that treatment would still be the same. The biopsy revealed no cancer in that particular bone so it is still a guess that this is the same cancer.
Seems like I had a bone biopsy from the pelvis first though and again it was clear. They did bone marrow at that time (pelvis biopsy) and it was clear also.
The blessing: the kyphoplasty helped the pain.

My dear Robyn, it's been so long since I've been to your site and you've been through some very difficult times. I am so sorry to just be finding out about all this. I hadn't been to my own site in a long time and just recently blogged a little. I've been through a very difficult time over the last year but not with my health. God takes each of us through the fire to make us more like HIs Son. I'm so glad the kyphoplasty helped with your pain. I will be praying for you, Robyn. I need to go back and read some past posts. During my time of darkest days God brought me to a radio program called Revive Our Hearts. Today, as I continue to battle dark days I go to the archived programs. Here's one that has been most precious to me - A Testing Ground for Heaven
Thank you so much for coming by my site, Robyn. I feel like you're a kindred spirit and I know it's because of the LORD. If I ever get close to KC, I would love to look you up if that would be OK.
