Daily Mental Body Scans

Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer is living in fear and having it lurking in the background. Every morning I do a mental scan of my body for any aches or pains. A few days ago I woke up with severe hip and lower back pain. I have Mets in both of these locations and the first thought was has my cancer spread even more in my body.

I rested and started to heat my hip and back praying the pain would subside. Luckily the next day it had. I am hoping it was a muscle strain from all of the dancing and conditioning I have been doing.

When I talk to my doctor next week I will let him know and learn his thoughts. But every ache and pain causes anxiety and stress because if it is my cancer spreading it may mean changing treatments.
