Hi Trekkie , I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer almost 6 years ago. My mets are in numerous bones from my skull bones ,spine, pelvis and head of the femur. I have been on a few different treatments during that time including Xeloda, Aromison, Afinitor, and now back on IV Abraxane. Different treatments seem to last for different lengths of time.and every one is different. Some people can last on a certain treatment without it starting to fail , longer than some one else on the same treatment. If that makes sense. We are fortunate in that , there always seems to be another treatment available . I do get bone pain but mainly keep it under controll with Panadol Osteo and the occasion Endone. Recently I had some radiation therapy for a new area on my hip that was more painful. This seem to give me some pain relief. All in all life goes on . I am able to get out an enjoy myself doing things I love doing . Walks on the beach , coffee with friends, craft work and best of all happy time with my family and grandchildren. Hope thing go well with your treatment. Just get out and enjoy life while you can.
