I just had a call from my oncologist who has just seen my MRI results. I have lung and bone mets. He doesn’t want to start any treatment until I have seen an orthopedic surgeon as the mets in my femur suggest a fracture risk and I may need some metal work to strengthen it.
Has any one else had this done? How quickly did you recover?
