Hi to all . I was talking to my niece last night and she works In the medical field in the states. I had mentioned the pain I'm having in the frontal lobe area and she asked me if my oncologist had suggested Strontium 89 injections. She said that this injection has been very helpful on men experiencing pain that has mestastized

From the prostate to the bone on men . They have tried this on women now and they are finding great relief in your pain management. This is in no way a cure but

I sure could handle less pain and my quality of life to improve. I have checked out the drug on the Internet and it does look promising . If this can help anyone I would be extremely happy check it out. I will be asking my pain management team on Wednesday what they think . I will post on Wednesday night what they think of this injection

Take care God bless Shelby

Hi Shelby— so sorry you are in pain. I hope your oncologist will give you an answer about injections— or something else to ease your pain. Sending hugs to you!❤️

I will be interested in finding out what your team thinks. I do get relief with my pain medication (Fentanyl and Dilaudid) but I would be happier with something less sedating.
