  • Wednesday is the Big Day…Quadrament FINALLY!

    Posted by momof4 on June 10, 2008 at 2:10 am

    Well the LONG awaited day is finally arriving…Wednesday Angelo gets an injection of Quadramet…We are hoping for good results and I will update when we know something…I am hoping we will be able to tell others here that it is a good option for pain relief…He will be hospitalized overnight because his urine will be “Radioavtive” for approximately 12 hrs.

    Please say prayer for him… Karen

    Karen — I read you post, said a prayer, and then posted to say that I want to join
    all the voices here in hope that this treatment is helpful to Angelo. I know you’ll
    let us know and I hope that the outcomes are the best — in support — Susan

    High Hopes for good results with the Quadramet…sometimes it takes a day or two for it to actually kick in but i know you know that…just don’t let Angelo get discouraged if the pain seems to get worse for a while…that happens..and then the magic happens…….hugs to you both…….Pat

    Karen, Prayers on their way. Did they say how long it might be before Angelo will notice results?
    I hope this shot delivers. Julie
