I'm not about to tell you what to do but I'm 63 and just finished 5 rounds of SBRT radiation on the marrow of my humerus bone in my right arm that had an SUV of 28. The pain is already subsiding some. I can't imagine it being all over well I can to some degree as I also have 14 screws and hardware in my spine with failed lumbar fusion and need more spine work. As far as side effects from the radiation I had some slight discoloration on the skin after one round and only mild fatigue no other side effects. As of right now my RO is pushing me to stay off ADT.

Anyway if they told me at that age that it would help with the pain I believe I would go through with it. I was with my Dad 24/7 the last week of his life with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Myself and my SIL gave him his oral morphine and it helped some but not much and one year before at age 83 he was the strongest man over 80 I ever knew. I hope if I ever get to that point someone will just accidently give me too much. I know someone that is 46 yo and it looks like he is nearing the end with colorectal cancer. The plan right now is to start radiation to help him with the pain as it's in multiple bones now. He's been in several trials but nothing has worked sadly he has the type colorectal cancer that only about 2-3% get.
