    hi Many, so sorry to hear this and my advice would be to phone your wife's onc and ask to see him/her. Should he/she feel that a visit and or scans are in order he/she will let you know.


    I know all this is very worrying to you but please try not to get ahead of yourselves........there are other explanations.


    Love n hugs. Chrissy

    Many I suggested your onc as it may be Tamoxifen related or pinched nerve due to bulging disc, and while you are under active treatment your onc is the go to guy or girl as the case may be. If he/she thinks scans are in order then he/she will order them.


    As I said in my first post, there are many reasons why this happens and not everything like this is due to mets.


    Love n hugs. Chrissy

    Is your wife on Simvastatin? That causes muscle weakness. I am on Simvastatin and my legs are wobbly sometimes.


    Anyone who is on Simvastatin really should be working out doing strength training to combat muscle weakness.
