Finger Pain and DCIS
by Sai387, Jul 08, 2008 04:45PM
Hi, in April my sister is diagnosed with DCIS with stage 0 and had a mastectomy due to 9cm diameter of maicrocalcifications. She has a pain just below the finger nail and if any thing be in touch with that area, she is getting the sever pain. Her Surgeon suggested her to go to finger surgeon and now she is in a terrible condition that she got the bone cancer. What is this finger pain? She is getting it for almost one year and her doctor said it is not the infection. Is this the sign of the bone cancer?

From the description, this is unlikely to be bone cancer, or any cancer spreading to the bones, however, there is a method to rule this out definitely: through a bone scan or PET scan.
Other causes for this would include some form of nerve injury from the mastectomy procedure or from increase in the blood vessel pressure as brought about by some form of lymphedema (also a complication from the surgery).
It is best that she sees a physical therapist or rehabilitation specialist to help her with this pain.
Regards and God bless.
Thank You Doctor. But she has this pain since last year and her Mastectomy is done on April 2008. This is the pre existing condition when she dignosed with DCIS stage 0 and no nodal and hormonal involvement. But still she is very much affried on every thing.
