Can anyone give me some advice on radiotherapy to bone mets. I had my first treatment on Friday to my pelvis and T11. By Saturday evening I was surprised and delighted to find that my pain had gone and I was no longer walking with a limp. It felt so great to be like normal again so I was so sad to find this morning when I got out of bed I was stiff and in pain just like before. I’ve had my second treatment today and a couple of hours later my back was killing me (although the painkillers are starting to have an effect now). They did tell me it would get worse before better but why did I have the pain-free weekend? How long does it take before it gets better? If the radiotherapy is successful, how long does it last? Can you have radiotherapy again if the problem returns?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences.
Thanks
Linda
