Lytic Lesions & Radiation
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had a lesion return after being radiated? It's been 2.5 yrs since the radiation, 1 yr since ASCT. The lesion is on the occipital condyle (worst bone to break).

Look into Proton Beam Therapy. It’s like X-ray but much safer in risky areas. It can be tightly focused to only shape of the lesion. It has very little to no radiation overspray at the entry and exit points of the body. It’s often used for brain tumors where they can’t operate and conventional X-ray would cause too much damage.

He had his Oncology appt. Dr. said "what"? Called head of Radiology. Lesion is NOT back, it is healing. Radiologist either did not read correctly, or the report was typed wrong, not quite sure. Dr. reamed out Radiology. Unbelievable.
