Taken BCG Treatment For Bladder Cancer And Having Pain Around The Shoulder Blades. Is There Any Possibility Of Spreading Cancer To That Area?
I was diagonised with bladder cancer T1 carcinoma insitu, they said it was a fast spreading cancer. The only option doctors basically gave me was to remove the bladder or I did try the bcg treatments. I finished the treatments 2 months ago. Since finishing the treatments I now have major pain around my shoulder blade. Is there any way the cancer could of spread into that area? At first I thought it was just muscles but I really believe it is more than that. The pain started about a week ago. I go Mon for biopsy.
