I had an MRI focusing on the left shoulder on the 13th. It was very painful, so I had to quit after the first third of pictures was taken, and could not handle the full test. I wish general anestesia was prescribed for this.
I was not able to hold very still, and so it produced poor quality images, however, they were good enough to prove that a previously seen metastasis had grown signifcantly, and my oncologist referred me to my radiologist, Dr. Bobo, for treatment.
The new pain since Wednesday has been high enough, that palliative care raised my oxycodone perscription by 25%, and I don't feel ready to go back lower doses.
I'm very happy that there is finally some treatment for this arm! Maybe not so happy the tumor has grown, but I am happy there's a good treatment option for the arm.
