BONE CANCER....???????????????!?

haS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE?


if you tell me to see a doctor,i will ASAP, but right now we're on vacation, and i cant see a doctor.


anyway . . .


I'm 14, and basically, i hae pain on my hip. Im not sure if itsmy hips, morelike my pelvis? *sorry i dont know much about the name* But itsnearthe bone on my thigh. like the hip on the left side.If i sep on it it was KILL me, and even just touching it hurtslike hell. it hurts as if a very bad bruise would hurt. It's been coming and going *the pain* tree years ago, it hytone night that i woek up.


then. it kinda stoped the year after , and its here again.


I told my doctor, and we got an x-ray for it, and it was nothing, but it hurts a LOT right now. Lastnight i felt as if it was numb, and its swelled upa bit.So i decided to search about Bone cancer. | started crying becase it seemed really as though i had cancer.


then igot to the side affects of it,and it said loss of hair which got me 10 x more scared.


At first when i had the pain my momkept saying : oh your growing... its cause your growing.,


but now its SWELLED UP. well its not THAT big, its just a teeeny bit bigger than my other hipbone.


Im extreamly terrified and paranoid about this, so if your lying and saying OMFG, U HAVE CANCER.


please dont.


thanks.

Yes it could be bone cancer but it is more likely that it is not. Get it checked out by your doctor when you get home, insist on a x ray, if you have a tumor it will show up on the scans. If there is a tumor, they will do a biopsy to see if it is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancerous).





I have had osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) for 3 years and it makes me angry that you think you would kill yourself rather than go through chemo. There are sooooooo many kids that I know that would go through chemo again if it meant they could live. There are a lot of people who have survived bone cancer and have lived the rest of their lives cancer free. Just for your information losing your hair is a side effect of chemo, not a symptom of cancer.





I sincerely hope that you go to the doctor and find out that it is nothing but if it is something know that you will never know love like the kind that comes from friends and family who will be there to support you.BONE CANCER....???????????????!?
True, it could be cancer, but that would probably have shown up on an Xray. Stop researching every rare disease on the internet- you'll only panic yourself.


If it still hurts and it's swollen, you should go back to the Dr. It could be a lot of things, such as a tendon or ligament problem.
