Hi. This is my first post here - I have been on the CSN site for years, but heard this site is great for younger people.
I am 36 years old and was diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma over 4 years ago. I was stage 3, but unfortunately have shifted up to stage 4. I just found out this weekend that I now have bone mets. I have been dealing with lung mets - that are under control after radiation treatment and some thoractomies. Had a repeat scan and now I have multiple mets in my spine!! UGH!! BUT - I feel good. I have some minimal right hip discomfort, but can still do it all.
Anyone out there dealing with bone mets? I would love to hear from you. I also could use some new friends.
Thanks for listening. jana
