Vertebroplasty gone bad

I have stage IV metatastic breast cancer, spread throughout my skeleton. I had a vertebroplasty done on my spine to eleviate pain in December 2008. Following the procedure, a cancer tumor compressed my spinal cord. I ended up with nerve damage. I continue to have numbness in my legs and difficulty walking and incontinence problems. Has anyone else had such an experience or any advice for the future?

    Try this site
    Duckydo,

    Try breastcancer.org. It is an extremely LARGE site, and has categories for all stages of bc. One of the ladies in the Stage IV thread may be able to help you there, or direct you again to someone who can.

    Hope this helps.
