Hi

i know exactly how you feel at this news on your dad, my husband was diagnosed two years ago, he had 5 fractures to his vertebrae he did have some procedure to help this but still gets pain from these, all I can say is be guided by his medical team, my husband had 10 months of chemotherapy. Followed by a stem cell transplant, he has monthly bone infusions and has been in remission for the last 6 months.

all you can do is ask questions when you meet with the medical team, there are always nurse

specialists who work within the hospital as well.

it takes a while to get your head around it all but take each day at a time.

initially it is very scary but once you have more information from the doctors I am  sure they

 

will decide on the best treatment options for him

Hi jan

thank you for your response, he has seen his GP today and is goin to try another drug for pain relief, it certainly affects his quality of life at the moment, the back pain is still there reminding him everyday of this painful journey. It is still early days since his Sct, I have. Shown him your response and hoping that it will improve  with changes in pain management, it is so difficult. To find what will give him a day pain free.

i hope that your next part of your journey goes well for you.

My husband was diagnosed 13 months ago, with back pain that was found to be 5 fractures to his vertebrae,  it is a very long journey with everyone being different,  my husband had 10 months of cdt and had a stem cell transplant in March, which I can only describe as brutal. He still is in a lot of pain from his back,  and is slowly recovering from his sct.

i hope things go well for your husband you can only be guided by the medical team and take each day as it comes, good or bad.
