I don't really belong on this forum as I have metastatic bone cancer (in both my arms) and I appreciate that this is a group for primary bone cancer.
However, the bone pain I have is on a level of pain I've never experienced before. Sometimes.not even morphine cuts through the pain.
So I thought, who better to advise on bone pain and medications that work than those people on the bone cancer forum?
I hope you don't mind?xxx
Also, does chemo help at all with bone pain?
Hi Harebelle
Not sure if you are aware that there is a group for secondary bone cancer, so that might also be a good place to post your question too. I’m sorry you are in so much pain, and hope that someone might be able to offer you some advice.

Thanks Sarah, I couldn't find that group. I will have another try. xx
Hi Harebellle
If you just click on the link I created in my post, it should take you right there. Please let me know if you have issues getting to it.

Struggling a bit. Hospice nurse is supposed to contact me as they are good at managing pain, but nobody has phoned, even though I was referred two weeks ago
That’s so frustrating and even a day is an eternity to wait!
can your oncologist get you in for some radiotherapy to help the pain ?
