Can't Seem to Catch a Break

So, my left shoulder has been bugging me for the last month or so.  It felt like a pinched nerve or tense muscles, something I'd felt before, so I was going to wait it out but it just didn't go away.  After talking with my oncologist about it, she wasn't too concerned- she gave me a referral to physical therapy and an MRI just to be sure.  Well, I had the MRI yesterday and today my medical oncologist (my main doc) called.  There is cancer in the lining of my spinal cord.  My medical oncologist is surprised and disappointed.  I am too, I really didn't think this MRI was going to show anything but a pinched nerve, urgh.

My medical oncologist has a call into my radiation oncologist.  She wants to know if it's feasible to do some radiation to relieve the pain.  If so, I'd get radiated and then I would start a trial of a chemo designed to target central nervous system metastases.  I should hear back from my medical oncologist tomorrow or early next week.  As usual, I'm anxious to finalize "the plan".   Until I know what comes next I need to remember I'm still feeling good.  In fact I got the call while taking good old Red for a trot.
