My husband will be getting an injection of quadramet next week...I will post about the results...He also has cancer in his sacrum...the radiation helped some, but not enough...he did not have any negative response to the radiation, and it did help significantly in other areas...I have not investigated the nerve block option, but I will ask this week what his Drs think about it...Quadramet is similar to the injection you get for a Bone Scan...It is a absorbed by the bone and gives pain relief for a significant period of time...It also does kill the cancer in the area it is absorbed...It is not permanent...but it is supposed to give superior pain control/ and quality of life with reduced narcotics needed...I was told that alot of Drs try to steer their patients away from this because of the cost ($1600 to $2000 per dose)...I would talk to the Nuclear Medicine Dr. at the Hospital you go to. You do not need a referral to get information...
Caregiver for my Wonderful Husband Angelo, who has Metastatic Bladder Cancer.
