This drug is very much like Quadramet that Karens husband took...it may take up to 4 weeks to work....and it needs certain precautions to be administered.

Melissa,

I am so sorry that your father is having such pain in his femur....I have to say the best thing that my husband Angelo has done to help with bone pain is the radiation...He had the injection of Quadramet, and it made his white cells go down, his platlets go down, and the pain relief was not at all what we had hoped. Keep in mind that everyone is different...

But I have to say that within 3 days of starting radiation to his hips, pelvis or shoulder (3 different times, not all at once)the pain was dramatically reduced. He is may be going back for more on his back..

I have to say I think this is the best option...

If you need to talk or want information please email me,
Karen

Has anyone ever heard of, or had experience with, an injection called Metastron? From what I understand, it seems to be in the same drug family as Quadramet (which I have read about on this forum). Any info that you could share would be appreciated....My father has very bad pain in his femur and it is really affecting his quality of life right now, and his outlook as well. Relief of this pain would be heaven sent!
