my uncle has bone cancer. He is about 70 years old. the cancer is Chondrosarcoma. He was on chemo and was initially doing well but I heard that lately he wasnt doing so well. Is the end near? what is the likelihood he will beat this. please be honest.
sorry, guys. that’s all i know. i knew he was in good health. he is older and was very active and strong for his age. my parents said initially he was doing well. we thought hed beat it. then they started saying he was sick. they wont give me more info because they still try to protect me (even though im 25 y/o)

Will cracking your bone give you cancer?
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010My mom says it will give me bone cancer if I keep on doing it. So I don’t do it anymore and freak out when I do it on accident. But now that I think about it, it sounds a little far-fetched. Is this true?
does living in a smoking enviroment cause bone cancer in cats?
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010my grandma smokes like a chimney and her 5 year old cat just got diagnosed with bone cancer in her face. is it the nicotine in the apartment since this is the second cat that may have to be put down in the 6 years she has been living in her apartment. the other was a 14 year old cat that had kidney failure and a mass in his chest.

(More) Metastatic cancer or just a coincidence?
Monday, June 28th, 2010My mom has been fighting cancer for quite a long time now, originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000.Since then,it spread to her lungs in 2005 and her hip bone just this past winter.She did intense radiation in March and was put on stronger chemo drugs to fight it.(Has been on chemo,period, every week for 2 years straight now.)About a month ago,her right leg started hurting pretty badly.Her doctor said it was her sciatic nerve and was given everything from narcotic skin patches to muscle relaxers to help with the pain,along with physical therapy. It’s been a month and the pain is worse than ever,limiting her to all but complete bedrest.She insists it is arthritus or a disc in her back giving her trouble,but my sister and I are afraid the cancer has spread to her spine.She cannot stand or sit in a chair for more than 2 minutes at a time, and has to lay flat on her back in order for the pain to be bareable.The pain in her hip was never this severe,so I am not sure what is wrong…
Would bone cancer be causing this much pain? And can it spread so quickly they cannot catch it?She’s been on chemotherapy since 2005 and the cancer spread from her lungs to her hip while on treatment, so it wouldn’t be suprising if it spread again.I am afraid I know the answers to all these questions,but am looking for other’s opinions or experiences.Thank you so much in advance.
I made a typo. The pain is bareable laying flat on her stomach, not her back. (Not sure if that changes anything.)
My mom is only 53 years old and NOT ready to give up. She has been working full time for years now and doesn’t want to let this stop her. She worked 40 hours a week through her first chemo and radiation in 2000, and as much as she could after having her lymphnodes removed. She is off work until the pain is gone-period. Right from her cancer doctor’s mouth. She won’t just give up and wait to die, and that’s what’s really hard for her.

Do you think bone cancer is eligible for making a wish with Make A Wish Foundation? ?
Saturday, June 26th, 2010Okay so my friend was just diagnosed with bone cancer, she has a tumor in her hand, I would love to raise money for her so she could see the Jonas Brothers in person rather in concert, Make a wish could do that without all the really hard fundraising. But, I don’t know whether or not the foundation would consider her bone cancer, good enough? Please give me your opinion.
