Tumor in upper right thigh
by 1rockinmomma, Apr 17, 2007 12:00AM
My mom has been diagnosed with having a large tumor in her upper right thigh. She is 52 years of age and a heavy smoker. She is scheduled for a biopsy on friday to determine more;(bighnine, malignant, etc.) until then are there any women here or someone knowing of women who have had this similar condition and what their exact diagnosis was and their course of treatment? Ive been reading up on osteosarcoma and osteoid osteoma which seem to closely match what it could be. Thank you in advance.

I have a cartilage tumor in my left femur, it's benign looking so far on x-ray and mri; but, it's painful. One surgeon said take it out, another said no need.
Dr.s can disagree and it's the patient ultimately who can agree or disagree to care, so getting informed is the best advice I can give you.
If your mom needs chemotherapy, she might need some extra TLC from you in form of nutrition and house keeping.
My mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and she was given 3 years to live. She started her chemo and she is sick. This weekend I am traveling to take care of her.
