    I had a radiation zap on Friday to my met on my sacroiliac joint. They told me that it would probably get worse before it gets better. Does anybody know how long it takes for the pain to subside? I manage ok but bending over is a killer.

    @donegalgirl I am really sorry to hear about the progression. Do you have access to a good cancer center? Don't be afraid to seek a second opinion once you get answers from your oncologist.

    @aj My radiation was to my sternum. I didn’t have any pain. However, I had 5 treatments and, shortly after the 5th one, I had extreme fatigue for a few weeks. After that I felt quite good.

    Hope your pain subsides quickly. The sacroiliac seems like it could be a sensitive spot. How many treatments are you having?

    Hugs, Pam 💗
