    Sacrum Cancer
    Hello Alan,

    I have cancer in the sacrum which apparently travelled from my original bowel-cancer. I have been through radiation and chemo treatments with more chemo coming imminently. In my case(and it is important to realise that everyone is different), surgery is not a viable option as the risk of damage to my nervous system is too high. This situation may also have a lot to do with the UK approach to cancer care in that the balance between treatment and life-style is the first objective. The American way seems to us over here to be to 'kill it' and cope with the risks. Frankly neither policy is wrong - it's what you personally feel you can cope with.

    I would recommend talking to an Oncologist i.e. get a second opinion before going near the operating table! I am not a Doctor or 'medical', but in my case surgery will certainly leave me incontinent and possibly semi-immobile i.e. walking difficulty.

    I am also investigating Cyberknife, but again I don't know yet whether the position of the tumor in my sacrum amongst the nerves will preclude this. You could talk to your Oncologist about this or to a hospital near you that has the Cyberknife technology.

    I wish you well!

    cancer in the sacrum...a little late

    Hi Lani1...  I know I'm a little late but my leiomyosarcoma of the uterus went into my sacrum bone in oct 2017.    They did radiation...I was already doing chemo.  Then they stopped the chemo and sent me to a neurologist who operated in march 2018 and took out my tailbone and part of my sacrum.  He is a fabulous neurosurgeon and my pain immediately started going away...  I will be forever grateful...
