I have metastatic breast cancer metasticised to the bone which I think is different than bone cancer. I agree that waiting so long does not seem appropriate. Your oncologist should be able to get you to a specialist sooner. I have been living with MBC for over 2 years. This past August I experienced severe pain in my hip bone. My oncologist called the radiologist immediately and I had 10 concurrent days of radiation to the spot. The pain disappeared completely. Maybe radiation would help you.

Good post, Rae. I too have metastatic breast cancer in my bones. No radiation I think because the issues were too widespread and numerous. I have been on Xgeva for 3.5 years and that seems to be getting the job done. (Bone scans reflect that pretty obviously.) I feel better than I have in years and my tumor markers are going down.
