Greetings, I would really appreciate the experience of anyone who has or is taking radium 223.
I have Gleeson 9 , all hormones have failed to contain the the cancer. The cancer is in the bones ( legs, arms , spine ). I am on monthly infusions of zolderonic acid , the side effects of the first infusion were ok in the great scale of things and hopefully the second will easier.
I have declined chemo (much to the docs dismay) as this will definately not cure me ,will take about 4 months and will not etend my life greatly.
The doc wants me to have monthly infusions of Radium 223. The leaflet I have minimises the side effects . I would really appreciate the experience of anyone who has or is taking this. I have been given a year and do not want to spend it feeling crap from side effects.
I am 70 and reconciled to my fate .
