Today was such a beautiful day - sunny 70F in Atlanta!! I went for a walk today with a friend and felt a lot stronger than I had been feeling. I'm on my way to recovery!
This morning, we saw a doctor in nuclear medicine who talked to us about "radioisotope" therapy. I had thought this was a therapy to stop bone cancer from spreading, but the doctor said it is mostly for pain management and does not help with stopping bone cancer. So it was a very discouraging news - looks like there is no good treatment for bone cancer. I think the best way is to keep my immune system boost up and fight the cancer off - so I'm trying to get as much nutrition as possible (I'm taking lots of vitamin C, calcium & vitamin D), plus I'm drinking the Chinese tea from my acupuncturist,which is supposed to boost up my immune system.
I ate more today than I did yesterday - if I can keep this up I should be back to my old self in a few days!
Thank you so much and good night!

Huh. So they aren't going to treat the bone cancer itself? Odd. Perhaps they think that your body will fight it off all on it's own? I would definitely ask questions and figure out what their thinking is on this issue. Keep feeling better hon- I know you are gonna make it!
Hi Chriseda,
According to my radiation oncologist, they want to take care of the brain first before I start Tarceva (which should help the bone cancer).
Yes- I agree with the others. I was seeing very positive things for treating bone cancer in lung cancer patients.
