Metastatic breast cancer: Anyone else?

I am stage 4 with hip and femur mets, found 2 years ago. Pain developed in November and became so severe I was hospitalized. I simply had to go for opioids, but have gotten much relief for now. The docs think much of it stems from back spinal stenosis and spurs, so I am headed to an ortho/onco specialist today for a treatment plan. My onco believes the Kisqali and fulvestrant are still working. Life is going on and God is in in control. I’m living each day vs projecting a future that I don’t know!

Hello @tessspike ,
could you update us after your visit, please? I am also having increased hip pain and my last scans said, something along the lines of, to expect a pathological fracture in the spine. I don't know what specialty to go to to talk about these. E.g. how to manage pain, what kind of exercises I can do to strengthen the relevant areas, or what kind of exercises/activities to avoid to prevent a fracture,... Kiddo was asking about going to bowling the other day and I had to tell him I probably cannot do it 🙁
