Hello to all and 2012
Its 2 years today since my bone mets diagnosis ( primaries in 2000 aged 46 years)
Managing side effects of Capecitabine.
Inspiring news is I still feel well and have absolutely no pain. Continue to swim, cycle, yoga etc and have a zest for life.

HIya,
How wonderful to hear this and so encouraging. I am in a lot of pain with spinal mets so this gives me hope
Love

I too, was diagnosed with spinal mets in November 2009. I had spinal cord compression and was in a lot of pain. I had to have an operation and radiotherapy, to deal with the fractured vertebra and I now have some metal bits and pieces supporting my spine. My pain isn't too bad, but I take pain killers all the time, so it's manageable. I have been left with nerve pain in my thighs - for which I'm on Pregabalin - and I have funny feelings in my feet. My balance is a little off as well - no I haven't been at the bottle...not today anyway!
My point is, I FEEL fine! I live for each day and enjoy life as much as I can and I make plans for the future. I'm planning my garden at the minute and it gives me an enormous amount of pleasure. Roll on the spring!

Thanks for the encouragement. I have to see the Onc in a couple of weeks so hope he will agree to a scan to sort out the pain. You are right, life goes on and each day brings new hope.
Good luck with the garden plans.
