In the last couple of days, my leg has gotten worse, to the point where I can't walk with a cane anymore. Furthermore, I've begun to have a strong pain on the left side of my chest, a little lower than the collar bone. (No, it's not my heart.)
Liette went out this morning and got me crutches and a wheelchair. The crutches work well, but when we called the hospital, they recommended to not do anything that stressed that area or incurred a risk of falling. Therefore, after the kids stopped playing with the wheelchair, I laid the crutches aside and let myself be pushed around.
Because of the rapid changes we were advised to go to the Emergency department tomorrow morning. The oncologist on duty will probably order an x-ray, to make sure that bones are not affected. Meanwhile, my oncologist has requested a CT scan of my hip and left thigh; we're still waiting for the appointment.
Liette also used her doctor powers to get a summary of the report from last week's bone scan. It appears that there are some problems. We'll find out more either tomorrow at the emerg, or when we see the oncologist this Thursday.
As you can imagine, this has us quite concerned. Once I have some details, I'll post them here.
Thanks for your prayers.
