My mum has bone mets to her pelvis and spine was sent for 5 radium and is now on day 12 after finishing but seems to still need to run to the toilet all the time not for sickness for the other end !! This is getting her down as it’s Been nearly 3 weeks in the house and can’t get on with normal things like work which she loves ect ! I was just wondering of any one has any advice or similar situation as all the nurses have said that couple weeks afte treatment ends to expect it ! She is eating all the right foods all be it their not too healthy ones which is following onc advice but just feel for her ;-( x Thankyou my mum is 55 and has Brest cancer 3 years ago and was diagnosed in feb as bonemets ;-(( she has had the radium for mobility issues as well and that has shown some improvent I just don’t know is this " the norm " thanks again x
Hi, I have had radiotherapy to my hip (5 sessions) for pain relief. I was fortunate not to get the diahorrea or sickness but I know that some people do. I would talk to your radiotherapy contact if this carries on and see if they can help. Your GP may also have some solutions.

Could possibly be the hormone treatment she’s on can’t remember if it was tamoxifen or Letrozole it can effect some ladies that way. Xxx
