Hi Sue6 Im sorry to hear of your battle with your side effects of your radiation. The calcification of your ureter is so damaging and your surgery sounds like a mess. The pain your are enduring must be so challenging for you. All this damage is caused by the effects of the radiation you received.. I do feel for you and hope you begin to improve as time goes on. Its debatable about the radiation treatment and if it is worth it in the end.? As I said in earlier post I am on waiting list for surgery to repair my fractured pelvis caused by the radiation treatment I had two years ago. The COVID-19 has delayed the elective surgery list. Well things have changed in my world since than. Firstly, I have noticed my pain level reducing in past few months. I can walk my little dog now without lots of pain. I have been off pain relief for most of that time as didn't need it much. Recently I had PET scan for three monthly cancer screen. The good news from that scan is my fractures in sacrum/pelvis are showing signs of healing. The bad news is I have lung cancer. They did a lung biopsy and identified primary adenocarcinoma in right lung. I have been referred to thoracic surgeon as they say it is operable and curable as it is early stage lung cancer, they think? The lung lesion is very small, I am having no symptoms. How do I feel? Initially I felt very angry and upset with the oncologist and than with my body. I don't know what my future is, AGAIN? I should know more after I see Lung Specialist on 3rd Aug. Take care Sue6 I am sending lots of positive vibes your way. Cheers Maggiemoo
