Bone Mets (spine) Relief Recs
Hello, I have stage 4 BC. ER/PR+, HER2-. Lympho node involvement (removed at surgery) and Mets to my lower spine. In order starting in May 2023, I’ve completed 16 rounds of chemo, double mastectomy, reconstruction, and 5 weeks of radiation. Finished this treatment plan in April 2024. After which scans showed NEAD.
Fast forward to this January 2025, scans and my CA 27.29 showed the cancer was larger and more pronounced in my spine (hence the severe back pains I’ve been feeling). I was switched from Tamoxifen 25mg to monthly Fulvestrant shots, Kisqali (400mg), and Zometa every 3 months.
I haven’t finished even 1 round of Kisqali as this treatment plan was just switched for me and I was told to pause because it has lowered my WBC count a little too much. I do feel it working as the back pains are less severe and I’m getting better little by little.
I just wanted to look for any advice or suggestions from those who are experiencing similarly on what you do you help with the back/bone pain. And I don’t mean pain meds. I have plenty of those available to me but rather I’m looking for any recommendations on supplements, habits, homeopathic/natural treatments that may have helped relieve pain further or faster. Thanks so much in advance 💖
