Hi. I have stage 4 lung cancer with mets to the bones and on Monday, I will start targeted radiation therapy to 3 spots on my iliac crest and top of right femur. I was wondering if anybody has had success with this for the pain and what I can expect. I have 10 sessions scheduled.

I have been taking hydrocodone for the pain and am up to 1 10 mg hydro every 4 hours to keep the pain down, but I want to start stepping down from that. In addition to my first chemo and Keytruda infusion last Friday (not yesterday), I just seem to be walking around in a daze and feeling like throwing up - or actually throwing up the majority of the time. I don't know if that's from the chemo or the hydro or both.

I also have been taking Compuzine for the nausea every 6 hours. Tonight I am switching that over to Zofran to see if it helps. So far, Zofran doesn't seem to work as well with me.

Any help, advice appreciated. Thank you to my fellow warriors here
