mama4zach Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi guys, Please if anyone knows where i can find any information on sclc mets to bones, please let me know. I have heard and read some things that scare me to death. The dr says only months left without a new trial treatment. How could it work so fast to kill you??????

hollyanne Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (((Nancy))) - I do not know about SLCS mets to bone -- but do have experience with NSCLC mets to bone. Radiation is extremely effective in shutting down areas --- chemo for all over spreading. Lots of love and prayers coming your way that you get a treatment plan moving ASAP. Love, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nancy...Dennis had sclc and was given the drug that Katie mentioned, Zometa. Also, radiation was very effective in controlling his pain from the mets to his spine. I'm sending hugs and saying prayers for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nancy alot has to do where the met's are on whether they can radiate. My wife was unable to recieve radiation as the radiation because of where the met's were would have done more harm than good so she did really good on Zometa. I do know of one lady who had breast cancer that it had gone to her bone's so bad that they actually looked like swiss cheese and they not only stopped it but15 year's later she is still doing good, so nothing is hopeless.....

finster Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nancy, I'm so sorry you got bad news. My mom also received radiation and Zometa for bone mets. Best of luck with your treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
