new bone mets

[clisa]

Well I have joined the "unlucky " group of having my disease progress in to my bones. I have being haivng alot of tests, scans etc to try to determine why I have been having such weakness in my legs, etc. We still have no answers for that concern but my latest bone scan shows a growth in my upper spine as well as possibly one about !/2 way down my spine.

The oncoogist says this is of no consequense and we will continue with my current chemo, of navelbine, xeloda and herceptin and unless I start to physically have pain or discomfort they will not do radiation on the bone mets.

We have brought in a neuroligist now to take a closer look at my legs - It could I understand in a rare situation be some spinal fluid from the bone mets leaking out and causing weakness? anyone heard of this?

Anyone with other suggestions or ideas or do you think this is good plan of action - I know alot of people have had good success with navelbine and bone mets.

Thanks again for all your input. Lisa
