Hello Heather
ReplyDeleteIt seems that her breast cancer has spread to the bone. This is a source of cancer metastasis, no secondary cancer, really. Breast cancer most commonly spreads to the brain, bone, lungs and liver.
However, semantics aside, it is certainly a difficult situation for her and her family. It is unfortunate that it is so bad. Radiation therapy to slow or reduce some of the tumors of the bone. Some people are reductions in pain (my mother) was much better, and others do not.
I hope his family to help.

The cancer cells to radiation and chemotherapy to slow the progression of the disease and to kill, not to prevent pain. The doctor will prescribe pain medication to avoid disadvantages of pain. The dosage and method of administration will determine how the control of pain.

ReplyDeleteThe secondary bone cancer had cancer means that has been moved somewhere before and up to the bone. Regarding radiotherapy, I do not think that it developed for pain Get well. to destroy more cancer cells. However, R & D, put painkillers. I doubt it has helped me.
ReplyDeleteRadiation therapy can help your family, but you should contact your advisor or contact the hospital a few tips, pain and needs to see preserved
ReplyDeleteBasically you can not avoid the pain of the bone. You can too high doses of painkillers, all knock out / in the land of Lala.
ReplyDeleteRadiation is trying to kill the cancer, but not directly relieve pain. If the radiation killing of works in cancer, cancer will not be there to cause pain, but that's a stretch.
I agree even on the secondary spread of cancer is caused by another type of cancer. I would say it is most likely due to cancer treatment first. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy is known to cause other cancers. For example, I am being treated for leukemia. I am receiving chemotherapy showed was the cause brain cancer. So I say this speed ill, then 5 years later, brain cancer. After the cancer can result. However, if it reaches my bone marrow leukemia in the spinal cord, I have a secondary cancer of the spinal cord, but from leukemia, which has spread.
My wife had also gone up to 10 mg of morphine for the pain if the pain was bad, radiation therapy are ineffective in cancer pain mls only diminished, but it should see the nurses who McMillen help.they very well,
