My world in a snapshot. I got an oil change and an infusion of Reclast today at Kaiser.

So what's going on, Bob? Why...I'm glad you asked!

It seems the 6 weeks of pelvic radiation four years ago did a number on my hips and femoral neck. I beat cancer but flunked my DEXA scan. This was predictable. My bones are now shit... and all the exercise in the world ain't gonna to solve the problem. So I did my research** and came to my own conclusions:

GIVE ME ALL THE PHARMACEUTICALS! STAT!

** Speaking of research, I had a good laugh last week when I came across a doctor on YouTube who said, and I quote, "your femur is the bone you would give your dog to chew on." My femoral neck, being spongy, is probably extra juicy 😁

Anyway, this is going to be fun, once I get through the achy side effects.

Good to hear you beat the enemy. Those side effects can be h*** but hey, life is still on ...! (My man's take on it, he has kidney cancer.) All the same, sorry about your hardship.

@mamzikorven I'm sorry to hear about your man's cancer, and I hope he's responding well to treatment. Best wishes to you both.

And yes, in my case the cancer itself only had mild symptoms, but the treatments were hard, with many side-effects. I've gotten through most of them. Life's good 👍
