Hi
I posted a couple of weeks ago about having target Radiotherapy for metastases in my lower back and buttock area. Cancer had got into my left iliac bone. I had the treatment 3 days ago and had been warned the pain would likely get worse before it got better. The first day after it was nausea with the feelings I used to get after Chemo, you know when nothing tastes right and you are hungry but just can't eat. That seems to be clearing up but I have pain in just one area of my lower back right across. Pain down my leg and buttock has mostly gone. I am continuing with slow release morphine twice a day and paracetamol with Oromorph as and when but it is never really much better. Just wondering if anyone has had this that can tell me roughly how long it will be before it eases, I was told it could be a couple of weeks but some lucky people had instant relief. I'm guessing it is the Radiotherapy breaking down the cancer cells that causes the pain and I'd like to be reassured it will work
eventually.. I feel like a bit of a wimp but oh well
