skeletal metastases in left femur and tibia

skeletal metastases in left femur and tibia

My mother is 72 yrs. and 4 yrs. ago has a left breast cancer which has been treated and taken out but now has a severe pain in left knee and calvicle. A Spiral CT scan and a whole body bone scan with TC-99m MDP have been taken recently which concludes:

Scintigram demonstrates multiple zones of abnormal activity in the skull, ribs, distal right clavicle, left SI, left femur(subtrochantric) and left tibia with non-homogenous radiotracer uptake in lumbar spine.

Right humeral head is not located in its normal position.

Therefore :

1- The findings is in favor of widespread skeletal metastases with lower extremity involvement.

2- Dislocation of right humeral head.

Please help and suggest me in diagnosis and next treatments and the medication and etc.

Thanks a lot,

MKTG. Mohsen

P.S. 18 yrs. ago she had a slight head stroke affecting right side of body and 10 yrs. ago she had two heart sroke which have survived.
Now taking Letrofem tablets

Questions in this forum are answered by survivors and other volunteers generally not identified as medical professionals. We are unable, therefore, to provide diagnoses and specific treatment recommendations  concerning your  mother's case, as you requested.
  
It would be best for you and your mother to discuss these questions with her oncologist, who would have the necessary medical expertise,  as well as having available all of the details of her medical history and test results.

Best wishes...
