Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my husband had small cell carcinoma five years ago. He had part of his lung removed. He had been doing fine for five years. He has a lot of pain in his hip. It is excruciating now. He had a X-ray done. The doctor said his hip looked fine. No breaks. Arthritis is minimal. He has now ordered a MRI to see if he has lesions. Could it be possible that the cancer has returned?
