Bone biopsy next?

Hi

Two weeks ago I had 2.8cm tumour removed and auxilliary clearance. 6/17 nodes positive.

The docs can also see something small but weird on my femur. It showed up on the full body bone scan, and despite having an MRI scan they still can’t work out what it is.

I’ve been booked in for a bone biopsy on my femur. Has anyone else had one? How was it? Any problems, advice etc that you can share?

Has anyone had one that came back negative for cancer?

I can’t start chemo until these scan results are back, so more waiting and worrying.

Hi Peta

So sorry that you haven’t had any replies to your questions as yet, and hope that if you have had your bone scan that all is well.

Hopefully now someone will see your post and reply to you.  In the meantime please don’t hesitate to call our helpline if you need to talk to someone in confidence. 0808 800 6000
