A teacher's assistant is not typically required to hold a Bachelor's Degree, so the average pay is much lower than that of the teacher in charge. A teacher's assistant averages about $21,000 yearly with a slight range between $19,300 and $27,400.
Spread to Bone. Roughly 30 to 40 percent of people with advanced lung cancer have spread (metastases) to bones. The most common bones to be affected are the spine (especially the vertebrae in the chest and lower abdominal area), the pelvis, and the upper bones of the arms and legs (humerus and femur).
Radiation Therapy to the Spine. Tumors of the vertebrae (bones that surround the spinal cord) can be a serious problem for some cancer patients. These tumors can cause the bone to collapse and can put pressure on the spinal cord. This pressure may cause pain and/or weakness in your legs and arms and change how your bowel and bladder work. You are scheduled to receive radiation treatments designed specifically for you.
