After having several weeks of pelvic radiation plus two treatments of brachytherapy - after a diagnosis of uterine cancer in 2016 - I am now waiting for a scan to see if I have Sacral Insufficient FRACTURES of the pelvis following 8 weeks of acute back/pelvic pain. My mobility has been greatly reduced and I’m living on regular doses of Co-codamol to help with everyday living. I’ve been told the waiting time for a scan to check if the cancer has returned or if it is due to bone damage is 4-8 weeks. Has anyone else had this problem. I am 73. LadyPink
Last year I had pelvic lymphadenectomy plus a radical hysterectomy then 5-6 weeks of pelvic radiotherapy (including 6 sessions of chemotherapy) followed by 2 sessions of brachytherapy. I was semi bed ridden throughout this treatment not least due to extreme fatigue. After my treatment finished I experienced really bad lower back pain. It turned out to be a musculo-skeletal problem resulting from being semi bed ridden. It took me about 4 months with physiotherapy support to get back to reasonably comfortable mobility. My treatment was for cervical cancer. I am 61y.
