Hi, It's good to here you are responding to Rolodex as the lymph nodes size is reducing. The bone metastasis also likely to respond to Rolodex because commonly the bone metastasis occur if the tumor is positive to harmony receptors against which the Rolodex act. Neva reduces the bone turnover caused by the spread of tumor. The femur is a weight-bearing bone, so it may need fixation because the bone was already weakened by metastasis. So you need to consult your doctor for the same and continue the Neva to prevent further development of new metastasis. Hope I have answered your query.
