      Client was diagnosed a year ago. She currently has Lyric lesions in her hips, shoulders, spine, ribs and sternum. I treated her 3 times pre-diagnosis and she found it to be helpful and would like to continue treatments now that she is stronger.

      Her current medical treatment:

      “I get Zoledronic Acid (zometa) once a month for my bones. Going to be
      going to every 3 months soon.

      In September I had my ovaries and Fallopian tubes out. My ovaries were
      feeding the cancer. Bones felt better almost immediately after
      surgery.

      I had radiation on my spine and shoulders in December. My right hip
      was done in May. December was 2 treatments and the hip was 5.

      I am on Kisqali which is an oral Chemo to stop disease progression. It
      is a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It’s a new drug and very promising. I have no
      side effects except for low neutrophils but I come back after a few
      days off.

      I am also on Letrozole as these drugs prove more effective together.
      It is a aromatase inhibitor.

      I take one Advil in the AM and one PM if needed. I am on no other pain meds.

      I get a CT and bone scan every 3 months. There has been no disease
      progression for a year.”

      Please advise.

      Hello Christine,

      Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

      I have a response from Dr Roth about your post copied below.

      Have a great day,

      Hello Christine,

      Unfortunately, I cannot advise the continued treatment of this patient, as the risk of lytic lesions spontaneously fracturing is still very high. The only way to proceed would be for her to obtain clearance from her physician/oncologist.

      Please let me know if you have any further thoughts.

      Regards,
      Dr. Roth
