Hi @Silba. My response is most likely a little late, however I thought I’d share my experience with you anyway.
I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer in Feb 2014 then, after an all clear in Feb 2017, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer on 1 May 2017. I was suffering from inexplicable & terrible pain at the time. I started chemo within a week of the metastatic diagnosis & a few days later, radiation treatment to my back. My spine & hips are riddled with mets ....well, pretty much all my bones really.
After some radiation flare up pain, I was soon in far less pain than I had been in some time. I have since had single treatments for extreme pain in my right hip and some months later, left hip and back. Each of my 3 treatments resulted in significant pain relief, so my experience of radiation treatment has been fantastic. I’ve not needed further treatment to date because the disease is not progressing. I did, however, start to go down this path late last year but it turned out I had a break in my pelvis. It has rebroken twice and is now healed miss aligned :'( It just broke My advice to you is, don’t let that happen!
I live with pain that I successfully managing with cbd paste A topic I’d like to discuss as I’m interested to know if many others are using cbd and / or cannabis oil to manage their symptoms. What has been the response of their medical team? I’m sure others are interested so will check to see if there is a discussion thread about this.
All the very best for your treatment and surgery @Silba
