What should l expect diagnosed April fatigue and tiredness most of the time. Large blast of radiotherapy and another in December. If l don't take tablets I am in a lot of pain. Is there any way you can find how much life l have left and what will my life be like. I try and do as much as l can but l am very breathless if l overexert myself. Just walking up the stairs takes it out of me. Can anyone help me.

  • Hi Sabredog, where are your bone mets? Radiotherapy can cause fatigue, but it should resolve. Are you on any chemotherapy, or hormone therapy?

    My wife has bone mets in her spine, and takes morphine which is great to relieve the pain. Your GP should be able to prescribe this for you.

    Nobody can tell you how long you have to live, and everyone's cancers are different, but you might want to read the positive stories thread I'll link below. Hopefully that will cheer you up some.
