Xofigo treatment

[londoncyclist48]

I am currently receiving Xofigo treatment. I have read a lot about it. I have had a lot of discussions about the treatment with doctors. I have attempted to read medical papers about the effectiveness of the treatment. But one thing I have not managed to find out is this. Is there anyone here who has had Xofigo and can say that it helped lower the pain or cure the pain in their bones? Despite looking, I have, somewhat surprisingly, not managed to find any stories like this.

I don't know about anecdotes, but the trials in hundreds of men prove it decreases bone pain.

Many thanks for this. I'm one week into treatment and so far, no difference in pain.

With any kind of radiation, there is often an immediate inflammatory response. As the inflammation goes away, hopefully pain will abate too. Meanwhile NSAIDs or even cortisone may help.

I'm on paracetamol, Oramorph and prednisolone 5mg. They want me to take Pregabalin but I'm not keen because of the mood altering effects.

I had Xofigo and and didn’t have any serious bone pain before or during treatment. It was just another SOC drug that was available to slow the growth of the cancer. After that it was chemo again because that’s all that is left for SOC.
