At the beginning of February I had pain from metastases in the right hip. Not much was missing and I would have needed a walker. I took a lot of pain relievers. XOFIGO therapy last year helped a little. But unfortunately only for 3-4 months.

In February I had 14 x right hip irradiations and I am almost pain free. Slight side effects such as diarrhea and fatigue, otherwise everything is ok. Greetings and all the best !
