Hi TinaB24 

Although I'm not a member of this forum I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

Hi TinaB24 

How are you doing, hope you are well and on the mend. what treatment did you decide on?

I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer 2.5 years ago. Today I was informed that 2 tumours where found on my vertebra. They are pretty small, but there: 
C5 = 6mm
T4 = 6mm

This is a new form of cancer and I have no idea what to expect, or what treatment would be best.

Kind Regards

Hi TinaB24,

I now have secondary bone cancer in my neck vertebrae (to go with my secondary lymph node cancer). I also have an unrelated spinal cord compression at T11/12, which to date has remained stable. I was experiencing severe shoulder and arm pain so had some palliative radiotherapy (which can be repeated if necessary) as it is now all about pain management for me, so have a variety of pain medications I take regularly.

To off-set the loss in bone density the cancer can cause I am waiting to start a course of Denosumab, which is given as an injection. I will also need to take a combined calcium/Vitamin D supplement. Apparently, it can make any dental problems you might have worse so you need to see a dentist first. Pleased to ay II came away from my dental check-up with a clean bill of health in that regard.

All the best.

Hi Maninbath

I do feel for you, sorry to hear about the spread. I have no idea what to expect from my bone cancer in my spine. So far, I have been pain free and really have nothing to complain about.

Hope you meds continue to work for you. 

All of the best.
