Targeted therapy is an amazing option. My boyfriend had wide spread mets to his bones and after a few weeks the pain started to get ALOT better and eventually went away completely. He almost got radiation to his hip, but the targeted meds worked so fast he didn’t have to.

Keep us updated on your PET scan!!!!
