Hi Carol
Yes you are correct when we have a plan of treatment we want it to start "Yesterday! lol

Just Brace yourself Carol and remind yourself often that it will be worth it.

I was months before I turned the corner from my SCT I used to count the "Good Days" see how long they would last, some not long 🙁 then suddenly I woke up and thought Gosh I feel good then I started to count the good days again and as they say the rest is History. well worth the effort.

Hi Mavis

Well as for the "Rolled up Towel" for me it was not painful at all and two yep two of my local gp's told me its was a pulled musclel or a bruised rib?
the reason I had two was I told the first one she was wrong thats when the 2nd one came in checked me over and said she concurured with colleage,

And to make it short I then started to smack the right rib area real hard and started to breath in and out deep and fast and twist my body left to right and up and down and all of those would cause me severe pain if I had what they said but told them I had no pain, Do I THINK I needed an xray? yes please say I and as the say the rest is history MM and to be fair one of the dr's did phone me up to say sorry 🙂

Hope this helps Mavis

All the Best

Hi Graham

Well Good with it all I know its an uphill struggle but it has to be done, the xray wont hurt but you will be in a long time so after the Nurse has forced you to rush you can have a nice long lie in.

Good Luck for thos two days and please keep us posted.

Hi Graham

Just to let you know I was diagnosed in Jan 09, that was after I went to see my GP in December 08 with what can only be described as I felt that I had a rolled up towel under my lower eib (left side) I felt no pain or any distress apart from the feeling that I had a "Fat" Lower rib :-S

To cut a long story shorter (I hope) after telling the Dr and the second Dr that came in to give a 2nd oppiniun that it needs further tests and that was Bloods,urine and X rays where upon I was then sent to see a Chest and Lung Consultant who then sent me to see the Dr that I am under now and the one that confirmed I had MM :-0 but that said I could have walked out of MY GP's and been none the wiser :-S Scary or what:-0

The best Patiant is the one that knows his/her own body and can guid the Dr cos they aint all that 🙁

as for me I would push it and if after the pushing it turns out to be??? wind then at least its sorted
Good Luck with it Graham.
