  • I will be interested in your replies because I’m considering doing radium myself.

    The pain must be “it” stacking a rib lesion which you should have been aware of?

    I’m guessing you’re on radium because you only have boney lesion metastases? I’m the same.

    Good luck

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
