Cancer - Treatment Of Secondary Metastases.
82 Answers
Does anyone know a treatment system for cancer secondaries (on spinal column and lymphatic system) beginning with T? My consultant used a word, and said it's not chemotherapy; also injectible, no hair loss, just makes patient feel a bit dodgy.

Yes, Pierre. The consultant urologist, consultant oncologist and radiographer had a conflab to decide on the course of treatment. You're right about feeling tired. I woke at 3 am and again at 6 am. Swallowed a couple of Iboprufen at 3 am. By 8 am I was asleep again till 9.45 am. Bliss!
thistles - thank you.

4th out of 5 radiotherapy sessions today. Last one tomorrow, Wed., then an assessment of situation. Radiotherapist is to speak to consultant oncologist re pain control and the lack of sleep it's causing. I am taking lactulose for the bowels! Very tired, and walking is hard work as one of the secondaries is affecting the radial nerve controlling the right leg - that's what the radiotherapy is targeting. I have acquired a folding walking stick! I now need a date for the op. to remove the main tumour - and, I suspect, the left kidney. Happy days!! Thanks all for you good wishes.
