Re: Hip/leg pain...

I have not experienced bone mets but just wanted to stop by and offer support. And remind you that this pain can be MANY other things even though our minds go straight to the worst. Just because we had cancer, we are still elegible for other ailments. (which seems unfair to me!). So try not to worry too much until you are given reason to. I know that is easier said than done.
Keep the faith.

Re: Hip/leg pain...

I have bone mets and the pain I had in my hip came and went for a long time. Hip pain can be caused by so many things and usually is. Have you been doing something differently lately that you haven't thought about that might be causing it to hurt? It's just so hard for us that have been dx with bc to not to think the worse. Every time I have a new ache or pain my mind instantly thinks it might be cancer. So I can certainly understand your concern. I know it's not easy but try not to worry. I really doubt it's bone mets. Hopefully Wed. your onc can order a scan and give you peace of mind.
