Have A Rare Form Of Lung Cancer. Taking Chemo. Done Bone Scan. Have Swelled Thighs
I have a rare form of lung cancer, and I am going thru chemo right 6 sessions so far. I just had a bone scan done
and it came up that both my knees, left thigh and left hip have degenerative changes. My oncologist today said he
may want to biopsy my thigh. It does not hurt me, but it is swelled and feels hard. I guess I'm just looking for either
a second opinion

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your concern in fact for second opinion I will be in need of complete medical history along with all the reports without these it is little difficult still from the given history I could say that, if wee want to rule out the possibility of metastasis then the biopsy is necessary you better follow the advise of your physician have great day.
