Time has passed since my last post. I since have learned my bone thinning is caused by multiple myeloma. Now in second week of chemotherapy and had my first dose of Zometa to deal with the thin bones. X-rays shocked me: thinning in skull, spine, femurs and Humerus(es?)
Don't know what is kicking my butt more: cancer or the chemo side effects. Mild so far except for a new neck pain that showed up an hour after the Zometa infusion. Suspect.
So now I feel like I'm fighting on two fronts; good thing we can engage them at the same time.
