WOOHOO! Awesome news Lilly!!!!

For my mom, the timeline is just about the same as what Denise said. Usually the pain/achyness begins a day or two after and lasts at 3-5 days. She takes Extra Strength Tylenol or Vicodin for pain control. I don't think it completely relieves the pain but she says it takes the edge off and then some. Also as Denise mentioned, keeping ahead of it by taking something early helps a lot.

[Finally results from my back pain saga!]

Steve,

To put it mildly - it SUCKS that it's a met. Hoping however they decide to treat it, it blasts it to kingdom come! As Susan said - radiation can take care of bone mets pretty speedy - my mom had it for mets in her sternum and it helped with the pain quickly. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Hugs,

Lisa

[Endobronchial Brachytherapy]

Rochelle,

Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully both procedures will be done in the same facility. I will be sure that I stay with her every second that they allow it and will guard those wires! Because the hospital is not our local one, this was all set up by phone, so I was not there to hear everything and not able to ask those kind of questions - but you bet I will when we get there.

Thanks again for this very valuable info and the well wishes.

Lisa

[Hi Im new here]

Welcome. We all know how scary and overwhelming it all is. You have come to a place where you will find tons of info, support, and best of all hope. Please keep reading and posting. We understand.

Lisa

[Endobronchial Brachytherapy]

Thanks so much for the reply, Muriel. They have already scheduled the 1st of 3 treatments for next Wed. I still look forward to hearing from Ry - or anyone else - about their experiences - good or bad.

Thanks again!

Lisa

[Endobronchial Brachytherapy]

Has anyone had any experience with this procedure? They are looking into it for my mom as her main tumor is blocking the bronchial tube to her right lung, making breathing difficult. Her left lung is completely clear thankfully.

Thanks,

Lisa

[I'm back]

Good to hear from you Bobbie! Glad you are feeling better. Please keep us posted on your scans.
