(More) Metastatic cancer or just a coincidence?
My mom has been fighting cancer for quite a long time now, originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000.Since then,it spread to her lungs in 2005 and her hip bone just this past winter.She did intense radiation in March and was put on stronger chemo drugs to fight it.(Has been on chemo,period, every week for 2 years straight now.)About a month ago,her right leg started hurting pretty badly.Her doctor said it was her sciatic nerve and was given everything from narcotic skin patches to muscle relaxers to help with the pain,along with physical therapy. It's been a month and the pain is worse than ever,limiting her to all but complete bedrest.She insists it is arthritus or a disc in her back giving her trouble,but my sister and I are afraid the cancer has spread to her spine.She cannot stand or sit in a chair for more than 2 minutes at a time, and has to lay flat on her back in order for the pain to be bareable.The pain in her hip was never this severe,so I am not sure what is wrong... Would bone cancer be causing this much pain? And can it spread so quickly they cannot catch it?She's been on chemotherapy since 2005 and the cancer spread from her lungs to her hip while on treatment, so it wouldn't be suprising if it spread again.I am afraid I know the answers to all these questions,but am looking for other's opinions or experiences.Thank you so much in advance. I made a typo. The pain is bareable laying flat on her stomach, not her back. (Not sure if that changes anything.) My mom is only 53 years old and NOT ready to give up. She has been working full time for years now and doesn't want to let this stop her. She worked 40 hours a week through her first chemo and radiation in 2000, and as much as she could after having her lymphnodes removed. She is off work until the pain is gone-period. Right from her cancer doctor's mouth. She won't just give up and wait to die, and that's what's really hard for her.

Our tabby was just diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. Has anyone used homeopthic drugs or treatments?
Our Luther appeared perfectly healthy but was losing weight. He did have liver disease which seemed to have been cured. Because of the weight lose we took him to our Vet. He thought is could be irritable bowel syndrome and he suggested an endoscopy. While in the hospital as part of the pre surgical procedure Lou had a chest xray which showed a mass on the lung. A CT scan then showed several more tumors. It appears to be metastatic cancer but we are waiting for confirmation from the biopsy that was taken. My husband and I are devastated. We visited our little baby in the hospital and is was so difficult. His leg was still taped from where they had the iv and he was shaking. Luther is home now and is slowly returning to his usual self. You see, he had never been away from home and it was traumatic. I'm trying to research as much as possible before see our Vet and the oncologist. Any advice, treatments, would be so very much appreciated. We love this little guy.
