Pamidronate Disodium treatment to relieve her pain due to the Bone Metastasis from Lung Cancer

After 9 days of linear accelerator treatment, she still felt very painful. The day before yesterday (25/11/08), the doctors decided to combine this treatment with an infusion of Pamidronate Disodium. It is said that this medicine is effective to relieve the pain from bone metastasis. We were told that this might cause some side effects like vomiting, slight fever, etc. After one day's treatment, she was OK. However, starting yesterday, she severely vomited many times and her temperature went up to 38C. Doctors immediately gave her an injection of medicine to stop her vomiting, but it was not very effective. Then they decided to give her an infusion to stop the vomiting and also to help calm her down. Today, she said she felt much better. Her pain has been reduced and we are now much less worried. Thanks to Dr Mu and Dr He. They are the best doctors in the world.
