Thanks for your best wishes. I have widespread bone mets apparently...skull, ribs, lumbar spine, hips. I only had a mild-moderate ache in my back however. The pain was enough to give me a poor quality of life..it impacted on everything I did, including sleeping. I am so pleased to have gone ahead with radiotherapy because I feel much more like the "old" me now. As soon as I got off the bed after having the radiotherapy I noticed a difference. Then I sat up and down, up and down in the waiting room because I was amazed at how pain-free I was! I just hope it'll last, Celeste?
