In reply to the discussion: I've been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer [View all]moonscape
(5,378 posts)11. Devastating to hear about your relentless
pain. Surely hope radiation gives you some relief. Hear you about being flat and still for radiation. My pain does not approch yous, but when I have to have a whole body MRI which once lasted 3 hours, unable to move a finger, my bad back screams. And thats without your level of pain.
I am so very sorry. Dang.
