Hello. I am sorry that you have found yourself here. I had emergency surgery on my C2-C4 as it had a tumour which had destroyed the area. I was diagnoses de-nova in August 2015. I had been seeing a physio and my G.P. for the pain in the neck back area. I had a clear mammogram in January 2015 so imagine my shock. I had a lumpectomy in September 2015, radiation to my C-2- C4 area and then put on Femara. This held the cancer at bay until about March this year when I had terrible pains in my spine/back area. My new G.P. sent me off for scans and it showed nothing. I then had a pet scan at Peter Mac and bingo - mets in my T4-T6. The pain was getting worse and I could not sleep at night. It was horrid. Had radiation again,. This has cured my back pain. They gave me slow release targin. Took that for about six weeks then stopped. I have no pain. I am currently on a clinical trial at Peter Mac and my last scan showed that my bones are healing. We are all extremely positive about this trial.
Try and rest up as much as you possibly can. I cant comment about chemo as I haven't had it yet. I hope that you find your pain can be controlled as much as possible. This bone met pain is just terrible.
Take care and thinking of you.
