Hello bone cancer patient

I declined your request but are more than happy to chat on open forum. Hope you are keeping well.

Hello again bonecancerpatient I wonder if you have any tips about dealing with bone cancer. Ive got metastatic squamous cell cancer which has spread to my bones and spine amongst other places. In particlar how ro cope with increasing pain. Also in your opinion is it better to be very careful of affected bones or is iit better to continue normal weight bearing excercise in order to strengthen the muscles which supporr the bones.

Hoping you are well

I havent got bone cancer I have oesphical junction cancer at top of stomach . 6 years ago I oesophical cancer which was removed . I had 6 years cancer free . Begining of march I was taken into hospital with an inflamed pancrease and when I a ct scan and mri scan they discovered cancer had come back and tis time with a vengance and its not operable this time its terminal 

Hi Navaraman 

I knew you had oesophageal cancer that had returned after several years. We are both in the same position of it being incurable. My question about bone cancer was for bonecancerpatient who I presume has bone cancer. But did not directly reply to them.

Hope you have a nice Bank Holiday weekend.

HI Navaraman

Timely advice with midday UV levels forecast at UV6  today. Ive got a n wide brimmed Tilley sunhat to wear along with SPF 50 sunscreen and sunglasses. Doing some gardening today and a BBQ later. Enjoy your day.

Hi Ed,  I am sure I have skin cancer or sun damage on my scalp so I am wearing a hat in this weather.  I had a skin cancer removed from my back a few years ago.  I caused all the damage myself by lying in the sun all the time in South Africa so can't blame anyone else.  Enjoy your BBQ we will be having a few of those this weekend.  I saw you put on another thread about exercise, I would be careful about exercising too strenuously because of your spine.  I asked the oncologist about swimming and Tai Chi and he said I could do both.  I haven't been swimming yet but started Tai Chi which is very gentle and I am enjoying it.  Have a lovely sun safe weekend.

Hi Lee

Good to hear from you and thanks for the advice on excercising and bone cancer. Ill go easy on the gardening.  If you have sun damage on your scalp get it seen to. It may only require a tube of effudix cream to clear it up. Like you I got a lot of sun damage living abroad and from my outdoor occupation. My present woes are all my own fault and completely preventable. Have a lovely weekend.
