@auntieoakley
I have just been diagnosed and go Back next week to see how bad it is. 20-30% are affected. Don't know what it means yet. Guess she will have to do another test.
I have read that there is a lot of pain in hips, back, and chest.
I am thinking she will want me to do the chemo pills and I don't know what to expect.
Thank you so much for reaching out!🥰

@mycuppajava not everyone has pain.❣️the pain usually happens if you have compression fractures or extensive bony disease meaning you have large lytic lesions in your bones. Thankfully, it sounds like you were caught much earlier than many at 20-30%. My husband had 75% and multiple spinal fractures.
I know waiting is really difficult and you are anxious, I am a cancer survivor as well💕, but try to breathe, and not make yourself crazy. You may never have the back and hip pain.
If you can do some reading on the sites mentioned here and get as informed as you can, this definitely helps me with anxiety and waiting.
Do you have your list of questions started for your appointment?
