They did a blood test and said that they found cancer cells and wanted to do a biopsy. (They think it could be lymphoma) but she didnt want them to do. I guess shes scared. She keeps comin up with all these excuses. She left the hospital and now her feet are swollen and her lower back, tail bone is swollen. Im very scared. I dont know why she is doing this to herself.
Hi Brittany,
How is your Mom? Definite diagnosis of bone cancer is usually not made by imaging studies alone. Additional tests may need to be done. Back pain may be attributed to a variety of issues such as musculoskeletal conditions, gynecological conditions or infection. Her anemia may also warrant further evaluation to determine the underlying cause. It is best that she talks with her attending physician also for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
