i have pain in my left lower abdomen. on a scale of 1-10 it is a eight.and at times a 9/10. I feel and look bloutted amost all the time. I tire very easily..I had prostate surgery in 2010 for an aggressive type of cancer i had 28 tx of radiation. and did fairly well...I only got tired toward the end. Now I really don t want to eat the smell of food makes me sick. it causes back pain in my left side. I also take Lupron I have seen my doctor I have had blood in my stool and urine since I finished radiation therapy. I know that bone cancer is a possibility I did delay a shot by 2 months i thought about stopping jt all together. What do you think?\

It is quite unlikely for you to develop bone cancer per se. however, there is a possibility of the prostate cancer coming back in the bones. Even this is not for sure and your symptoms may just be due to the surgery and radiotherapy as both these treatments can cause back pain. However, if you are in doubt and the pain is severe and persistent, then get a bone scan and serum PSA done. That will clear the picture.
