Does the chemo make the bone mets shrink, disappear or stabilize or what. I still don't understand it - it seems different to other stuff.

This is my weak understanding. Bone mets eat away at bones like moths to cloth. The chemo kills the active cancer "moths", but the holes or lesions they caused still exist. The Zemota, that I take monthly, goes in and helps the bone repair those lesions.

Any body have any other understanding?

Love and light,
