Finished Radium 223

Hi Ickleman. 

I don't think that there r many on here who have had Radium treatment so difficult to advise on your problem back pain.

I would contact your cancer centre for advice on what to do.

Best wishes

Steve

Sorry to read this Ickleman, hopefully someone who has experienced radium 223 will come along too. 

Hi Ickleman

i completed 6 sessions of Radium223 in Nov, my PSA had risen during treatment and risen again since to 26 so likely to start on Enzalutimide very soon and not enthusiastic about potential fatigue and other issues. It’s difficult to recall if I had increased back ache as I do have bone mets but luckily this is manageable as long as I don’t overdo work effort. It will be a good idea to give the Oncology help line and the Radium team a call to discuss your back pain as they will want to help. Don’t leave it too long before you seek help.

Hope all goes well.

Hi I am cycle 3 of 6 and I have severe pain in my back since injection a few days ago. At Royal Marsden the consultant said it is a good thing if you get initial pain as it means radium 223 is working.  I pray that your condition will improve, you are doing well after 11 Years. God bless
