Hi @noosa_blue150, I had my L2 irradiated only 4 weeks ago. I recommend you try to get stereotactic radiation if your lesions are small. If you have this type of radiation it would be 2 high doses for each of you L3 and rib. They may do L3 and rib one day, then a rest day, with final day being the third day. I didn't really get any side effects other than fatigue and a bit of nausea - they will give you ondancetron for the nausea as a pre-med because L3 is near your stomach and digestive tract. This kind of radiation should get rid of your mets and they will not come back in the same spot!! I am sure there will be someone in your area that does this sort of radiation even though it is a relatively new technique. Good luck.
