Radium 223 or Alpharadin/ Xofigo

Hi everyone, I have multiple sclerotic lesions, chest, arm,leg and mainly spinal at L4. These are secondaries from a primary Prostate cancer which I thought had been cured by radio therapy some 15 years ago. I am to begin treatment with Alpharadin radium 223 next week and I wondered if anyone has had this treatment and how they got on?
