I found this article while researching about cancer related pain, thought there was some good info here, even if many of you don't want to think about such things, it's still a reality to some on a daily basis:

Thanks David

I read through the article and have printed it out so I can read it a few more times as much of it went way over my head.

I do like the concluding sentence - "If this progress can be
sustained and expanded, these advances have the potential to
enlarge the repertoire of therapies available to treat bone cancer
pain and significantly improve the quality of life, functional
status, and survival of patients with bone cancer."

Hopefully such can happen quickly.

Very good article. It fits in well with how my uro described bone mets, and makes a lot of sense, even for me.

Based on the discussions of cancer pain with my oncologist, I felt the article was well balanced, and in line with modern pain management issues.
