Good morning. Have you mentioned the incontinence to your oncologist? Since you mentioned spinal/pelvic mets (which I have also) sometimes they can press on nerves that control the various bodily functions. They might be able to look into that. I know there are others who have small areas radiated to deal with the issue that might arise. Not sure if this is one but it is absolutely worth asking your oncologist about.

Good morning, Peggy!

I have an appointment with my oncologist on the 28th, and this issue is at the top of my list.

I, too have been wondering if my issue is nerve related. I don’t know how on earth the specific nerve can be isolated, but that’s up to my oncologist to figure out.

If there’s one treatment I don’t want, it’s radiation. I had it for six exhausting weeks back in 2005, and I swore to myself I’d never have it again. But hey, if it helps my current state of whooshiness, I’m all in!

Right now, I’m obsessive about voiding as well as the availability of bathrooms if I leave the house. Tomorrow, I’m going to a Native American Thanksgiving get together, and I checked to make sure bathrooms will be available. They will, of course. But I compulsively had to check. 😏

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! 😀
