Hi everyone,
I got ACC in 2023 and followed a surgery and 6 weeks of radiotherapy.
Recently, I have back pain and I got bad news from my oncologist after IRM examination at the spine. The metastases appear at T8-9-10-11 vertebral. The tumor touches the spine cord cause back pain.
My doctor proposes a separation surgery and SBRT radiotherapy. But he insists that the cancer will be there and I should prepare for a long-term chemotherapy course.
I am at 40s with 2 kids, I am so scare for the next to come.
Do you have any experience about spine metastases to share? Any idea about the treatment course?
