Anyone else living with breast cancer and bone metastasis?

Posted by pegannie @pegannie, Jan 22, 2020

My breast cancer has metastasized to the bones. (axial skeleton) I knew something was up due to the intense pain in my hip and leg. My oncologist said the cancer in my bones is the primary issue now - not the breast cancer. He said there is no cure but it can be treated with pain meds. Others have told me that you can live a long life with this, just painful....others have said once it is in your bones you don't have long to live - up to a couple of months? Does anyone have any comments?

Hi my oncologist wants me on kisqali and letrozole for bone met in shoulder from Breast cancer 14 years ago
Kisqali concerns me because I am on Hydrocodone 4 x daily for my back and spine pain

Hi: I’m on Kisqali and Faslodex and handle well. I have MBC and have most of my cancer cells are in my spine and have mass on my sacrum. What does Hydrocodone do for you? Have neuropathy from too much radiation on sacrum.

@jconsiglio55, I want to offer a belated welcome. It sounds like you've been getting radiation to help shrink the mass on your sacrum and it has resulted in neuropathy. Does the mass cause pain and radiation helped to reduce the mass and alleviate pain?
