~Any Info on "Mets To Cervical Spine"??

[Believe51]

Looks like Ed has something going on in the cervical spine. In fact, the one 5mm met in the frontal lobe is the least of his problems right now.

Anyone have any information on this?? Anything would be helpful.

Dear Marie -
Wow - so that explains the pain in his back? Yes, this is Whack-A-Met big time.

I am assuming you mean "cervical" as in the neck/upper shoulder area? Did he have a bone scan? Or is this from PET/CT?

I have a friend who had 3 mets in that area radiated to good effect. The rad oncs he sees for Gamma must have bone specialists in their group or can refer you to the best person around for that.

Yes, this is something to get right on.
