Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain When Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
Question: My 90-year old mother has stage-4, triple negative breast cancer. It has gone into her bones with significant lower back pain. Chemo was started with no pain relief. So, chemo was stopped and she's at the 7th of 10 radiation treatments. Back pain is still significant.
Is there any other treatment for an otherwise healthy 90-year old or are we just in a pain management mode to keep her as comfortable as possible?
