    You should really ask when you go in for your next treatment.

    Part of it depends on how much damaged the cancer has caused to the bone, the dose and number of treatments planned.

    Radiation relieves pain in 80-90% of the cases and stops it altogether 60-80% of the time.

    The fact that it is feeling better means it is working well for you, hopefully it will a big improvement by early next week.
