Waiting for results

[GiveMeFreedom]

After the x-rays, MRI's, cat-scans, and exams, I most likely have bone cancer in my right hip bone. The last test is the biopsy, which will be on the 23rd. When I walk, I limp severely to compensate for the pain on my right side. No telling what the future holds, but I do want to say "thanks DU" for being a beacon of information that does not follow the mainstream, All arguments aside.

2. That's really tough.

Bone cancer is tricky. I know someone who is being treated for symptoms, but not for a cure. Much like Elizabeth Edwards.

However, there is some interesting new treatment and they are taking patients if you have multiple myeloma:

"This anticancer drug, called maytansine, when linked to a tumor-targeting antibody, shows promising early results in clinical trials on patients with metastatic breast cancer," said Jordan. "Although the drug is not yet approved by the FDA, current clinical trials are open to new patients. And, the drug is being tested, with good results, on other cancers, such as multiple myeloma and B-cell lymphoma."

Good luck. Hope there is something that can help. Btw this person has also been put on 1000 mg Vit C a day.
