Oh huge hugs Jencat. I know what you mean by reading things. Last year, I was looking through my online health records for which travel jabs we might need. When I saw that I am on gold palliative care, it really through me. It's that word, palliative, although I know it just means care. Similarly, I daren't ask how long I may have with this increase in bone mets. Had the first capecitabine cycle review yesterday. As my sacrum area is now numb they are going to radio zap it again, but over 5 days. On a plus note, my bloods showed lowered ALP indicating less bone activity. Still no where near the normal level. Also, my wheezing is much better. Maybe I had an infection since before Christmas and the steroids for the rads sorted it. Who knows, I just know I'm grateful that I'm not worrying that it's spread to my lungs. Jencat, re your chemo shrinking your bone mets, I was told that it's hard to spot a reduction in mets in the bone, just due to the bone structure damage the mets will have caused. Just remember, you don't die of bone mets, or at least that's what I understand. 💗 🏄 ♀️ 🧜 ♀️ 🤿 🐧 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞
