What Is The Best Treatment After Being Diagnosed With Thoracic Bone Cancer In Lumbar On Tail Bone?
I have had a pet scan and MRI and they show that I have thoracic bone cancer in the lumbar on my tail bone. Is radiation the best option? I have had breast cancer 8 yrs ago and had chemo (4 treatments). I have not had an appointment with my doctor yet but I would like to know what kind of treatment is better.
if your bone disease is more painful, it is better to get radiation. if there is no disease elsewhere in the body apart from bone, you need hormonal therapy, if their receptors are positive. Otherwise chemotherapy is needed. Only radiotherapy is not enough.
