Good morning, I was diagnosed 4 years ago with secondaries to my bones, mainly spine and ribs. I’m on first line treatment atm Letrozole, Palbociclib and Denosumab.

I had further radiotherapy on my thoracic spine in the summer for the pain some progression.

I have a question which I’m hoping somebody in a similar position may be able to answer? I have quite a lot of deep pain in my thoracic spine (middle) when sitting, (the palliative team are currently trying to sort out the correct level of pain relief) has anyone found a cushion/pillow to alleviate pain in the spine? Please?

Thank you

Hi there, I am sorry to hear of your problem with the pain. I was diagnosed with bone cancer last September and am on Paxitaxel and also denosumab. I also have quite a bit of pain expecially when walking , I don't have any when i am sitting down at the moment. I am sure your pallative care teal aor try Mcmillan website. I will ask a few of my friends who also have the cancer in their bones including in the spine and will get back to you
