What Are The Symptoms Of Blood Cancer?

my nephew had a successful bone marrow transplant just over a year ago as a result of MDS. His blood work has been perfect since then but now he found a lump on his clavicle bone. After an xray and mri he is being sent to oncologist for a biopsy. Could he have bone cancer and still have perfect blood work? or would the blood work give some type of indication

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has lump on the clavicle. It can be some benign bone tumour or bone cancer. He should go for biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly. It Iis quite possible that he has no change in blood parameters despite of having bone cancer. So he need biopsy. Consult your oncologist and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
