Hi bronmeg , wishing you well in your treatment . I too have numerous bones mets. which were diagnosed almost 6 years ago. It is a bit of a pain knowing that you will be on treatment for the rest of your life, but it doesn't have to stop you from living and enjoying life. I make the most of my time enjoying coffee with friends, walks along the beach, shopping trips and being spoilt by my husband . Grandchildren also make life worthwhile. There are times when we get down, but if you can cope with the side effects and get out and enjoy life, then we will not let cancer win. I must say that the constipation can be a bit of a bummer at times.! All the best . Be thinking of you.
