Hi Tracey,
Great to hear from you and thank you so much for your response to my story. It is a wonderful site and I have had so many lovely positive messages. After you radium did you get the pain relief straight away or did it take a couple of weeks. I am currently on painkillers which i want to get off so I can go back to work. Am on my third day of radium today and have 7 more treatments. I have heard at the completion of the radium it takes about a week or so for the full effect to be felt and that I may have to stay on these pain killers until then and then I can reduce them. Any comments re this I would appreciate. Stay strong. How long ago were you diagnosed with secondaries. Stay well.
