I am still so confused. I thought a metastasis would be closer to the source...lung or head/neck. My husband's is to the pelvis and he is having different protocol of chemo to see if the cancer responds. I recently read on a very old post that you could have radiation to the bone and that has not been mentioned. Help clarify somebody!
