Well This Stinks

  Been on steroids for two days. Muscle relaxer. Pain was low today finally. So got on treadmill. Gently.

Started at 30 minute mile pace. Kept on increasing speed every few minutes. Would have kept on going, but since exercise so limited this month, lungs had to clear. About an hour fifteen in started clearing lungs. Eventually pulled the plug on the run.

Then heard from doctor. Urgh. The psoas tumor is growing. It is impacting from L2 to L4 and causing pressure on nerve.

Radiation is for sure. Now just a question of whether there will be surgery first.

But at least pain is low. Said I can try to exercise, but listen to my body. Will try to do seething. Maybe not everyday. And probably more limited.

Will see. (The dark area on the photo with the circles on the left show where tumors into spine. The right photo shows Psoas cancer)
