fight Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Welcome, I'm would have to say I'm a little bit too familiar with this type of cancer. It is the same one I was diagnosed with over a year ago. Take heart....there is hope and many treatments out there for it. Let us know what questions you have and take the doom and gloom from the doctors with a grain of salt. They never take into account the human spirit! Take care, Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyndy63 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Is it common for my father in laws leg to all of a sudden not have feeling or him be unable to stand or walk on it? He is very disheartened by this development. He is going back to doctors today for more test and a radiation schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michellem Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I dont know for sure but my mum has it in her spine, they told me if she lost feeling in her legs or couldnt stand they could do emergency radiation. my mum is hopefully going for radiation next week. Hope your father is ok michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Cyndy, very sorry to hear about the increase in pain. Luckily, this is the type of situation where radiation can really help recover function and diminsh pain---and fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
