They believe the radiotherapy will zap the enlarged lymph gland and the metastasis in my hip socket. They also hope that they will be able to use radiotherapy if and when other metastases come along ~ if I am well enough.<br /><br />So, for that reason, they can't cure it. As you say what choice do I have ? It's a choice I'm glad I've got Jenny. I'm wearing shorts in this heat with my compression stocking proudly on display. As a close family member commented the other day ... it DOES look like a false leg. This does not seem to stop people barging past me.

Just take notice of that inner voice. I'm glad to see it, and you, retaining a sense of humour, anyway. I had to smile at the thought of the Dalek-voice :-)) The radiotherapy is only for pain relief? Surely not. If that was all that was needed, surely a strong painkiller would do the job just as well. Maybe not a total cure but a reasonable extension of good quality of life, I would have thought. Stay positive, my friend.

I suppose you just have to go with it and trust in their knowledge, after all, what other choice do you have? Not one that you'd want to be taking, I'll bet. Well, if it helps with the pain, that has to be a good thing. Living with pain 24/7 can really sap your get up and go. What you need is an instantly inflatable leg cast so that, when faced with steps and a crowd, you can whip it out, clap it onto your leg and limp along in the full knowledge that they'll see it and make allowances. (Well, most of them will!). LOLJenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.com
