Hi, I am a breast cancer survivor. Stage III, diagnosed Sept/09, finished all treatment (mastectomy, chemo, rads) and just have a question for this group please.

I have had lower back pain now for about 2 weeks - was wondering if this was a sign of bone cancer. I have my next checkup in March. I don't want to whine over every little ache and pain and run to my Dr.

Please any thoughts or experiences would be most helpful. Any other similar experiences?

Hi Tracy

I can only tell you what happened to my mom. She had her masectomy last May 2009. During her chemo treatment in summer of 2009 she began walking kinda hunched and had shortness of breath. But she ended up getting better after a year long fight which included 118 days in the hospital. She is 72 years old now. This past October 2010 her back started hurting and she went to a chiropractor. Within 2 months she was real bad though, everyday she went downhill fast and hard. She just got dx with bone mets in her spine, back and pelvis.

Do not wait, go to your

Do not wait, go to your oncoloigist Now!

Same circumstances with wife. She began having back pain and we thought the usual, muscle strain, overworked, etc.

Didn't get better, jsut worse. By the time she went to her oncoligist and had full body scan there were four tumors on her bones...1-neck, 2-ribs & 1-right hip.
