I had radium223 treatment last Thursday for my prostate cancer that has spread to my bones. The pain I was having just seems to have increased since then. Is this common, and if so when is it likely to decrease. Currently mixing co-codamol and paracetamol to help with the pain. This helps but just  fora short while. Sometimes its worst sitting for long periods, and then also gets bad when walking even comparatively short distances. Should i give the treatment a little longer (adter all it's only three days) to kick in?

Be really interested to hear from others having radium223 for this and sharing their experiences.

Hello olly73 and dmichael,

I thought you'd be interested to know that there is a new user on our forum who is also about to start radium223 treatment. Find Fusilier's thread here and feel free to drop him a line!
