Bone metastasis

Almost all my patients who have passed away seem to succumb sooner or later to bone metastasis. This is the most painfull of all the pain there is today, and to avoid having bone metastasis is my number one priority.
Once symptomatic bone metastasis sets in, everything else is unimportant. Only pain is the concern of the patient. Sleep, food, medicines, supplements, social manners takes the backstage. There are medicines that can halt it or delay its progression, but the costs are prohibitive in this country of mine. I wish that these medicines are available to them and they don't have to suffer unnecessarily.
