My dad has bone mets and from time to time over the years he does have a bit of radiation to settle things down. It seems you have to stir it up before it gets better. He has had a few sorts of chemo as well, infused and tablets and now he is on a new chemo every 3 weeks. He manages the bone pain with prescribed painkillers and his biggest hassle atm is numbness to his fingers and feet which is a side effect of the chemo. We may have to get him a portable power chair esp for shopping as his energy wanes after a bit. He can still walk upright, soldier straight and you wouldn't know at 78 that he has bone cancer.
If you eventually end up getting a portable power chair yourself for those long shopping trips, get one that the Coles trolleys can attach to. Where we are, Coles has a specially designed trolley that will click to the front bars of the chair.
That's really what surviving day to day is, outsmarting the cancer and adapting to live a different way.
