Hi Phil, Hi Wendy,
Just joined the site and find your comments very interesting ( and hopeful). I guess yo were both healthy sporting types before being diagnosed. I was at the gym 5 days a week, managed a Golf Club in Hampshire, never smoked, an never drank to excess ( except hen I was in the RN !). I am now 64 and just retired to Hong Kong to join my wife ( having lived her since 1989), I was in the Squash team both league and Masters, and although my vertebrae snapped in 10 places and I lost 4" of height overnight, I have continued to be positive and am back playing golf (although not hitting it as far) and am swimming quite regularly. Tomorrow I am going to attempt a "gentle" game of Squash. I do not use pain killers but have them to hand.
My last MRI said the bone have healed themselves and so I feel up to having a go. It is a bit scary but I guess I just have to try.
Please keep me informed on your sporting progress ( golfingrob@gmail.com) , it would be great to hear your news and good luck to us all.
