My husband has terminal prostate cancer , his recent bone scan showed an abnormality in his spine so that would be the reason why he has been getting a lot of back pain . His consultant has advised a session of radiation treatment due to commence in a weeks time , He is really struggling with the pain , he takes pain killers and Oral morphine to try and help ease his pain .
I can only hope and pray that the radiation treatment will work for him .
I still work full time as a Healthcare assistant at my local hospital and have several hobbies to keep me busy,I try not to spend long periods of time sitting down although if I get caught up in a good book I can forget to move, I have also rehomed a friends little dog so I get out for regular walks with her, I like gardening to take my mind off my pain and I also keep chickens,I got the chickens before my dog with the purpose of them making me get outside more because I had started to spend lots of my free time cooped up indoors feeling sorry for myself,I don't do that anymore because it doesn't achieve anything, instead I practice gratitude for the things I am still able to do
