I am just looking for someone who has mets to the bone. I am being given radiation to the spot, which I am told is only a small area of "suspicious activity" on one lumbar vertebrae. All my other scans are clear, lungs, liver etc. all are good. I am a little nervous but my doctors have told me that the radiation will "zap the cancer". I am keeping positive. This is a recurrence of stage IIB her2+, er pr+ from 4 years ago following lumpectomy, A,C,T and rads with 2 positive sentinal nodes but no further mets at the time. It sounds like my doctors are being positive that I will get through this again, which helps me a lot. But, it is still frightening. I would like someone who has been through this to respond. I will be getting herceptin and will also be having my ovaries removed to stop the production of estrogen. I will be put on raloxifene.
Thank you for responses in advance. Prayers and good wishes to all.
