Secondary cancer in the bone can sometimes, but not always, weaken the bone.
If an x-ray shows that a secondary cancer has weakened a weight-bearing bone such as a leg bone, so that there is a risk of it breaking, you may need an operation to prevent this from happening.
The operation is carried out under a general anaesthetic. A metal pin or a locking nail (a nail with screws at each end) is put down the middle of the weakened bone. This secures and strengthens the bone, holding it firm so that it will not break. The pin or nail can stay in permanently, to continually protect the bone. Whether this operation is appropriate for you will depend on which bone is affected by your secondary cancer. This operation is mainly used for the long bones in the legs. It is occasionally possible to do this for other bones in the body.
Sometimes the weakness caused by the secondary bone cancer leads to a crack or a fracture in the bone. If this happens before the operation, it may still be possible to mend the bone by using the operation described above.
You may have radiotherapy before and/or after your operation to try to destroy any cancer cells left in the area and help the bone to repair itself.
You will need to stay in hospital for up to a couple of weeks after the operation to recover fully, but most people are able to start walking about a couple of days after surgery. A physiotherapist may give you leg exercises to do, to help you move your leg more easily.

Prayer helps a lot to relieve some of the stress you're probably under. Also.there are support groups out there, so you may want to check with the medical facility you're seeking treatment at. I do sympathize with you, in that I lost my mother to lung cancer 9 years ago. Good luck & my thoughts & prayers are with you!
Cancer is actually more common than you think. There are a variety of groups that offer counseling. Talk to your doctor and ask to be pointed in the right direction. If finances permit see a therapist or find a close friend willing to listen.
I'm sorry to hear that you have bone cancer. However, many people have serious diseases, be it cancer or AIDs or other severe diseases, and after a period of adjustment, they eventually learn to live with the condition as best they can. Don't ever give up on life while you are still alive. Understand your condition better, and undergo treatment for it. Then continue to live a full life and try to enjoy everyday a day at a time - this advice applies to everyone. Good luck.
Dear Friend,
Please don't give up hope! Your child is VERY fortunate to have a mother like you. Please remember that! In order for you to be there for your child, you've got to make your health THE MOST important thing in your life. Your child needs and deserves to have you for a mother! Is it possible for you to get help/support from your family? Can they help care for your child?? Do you have friends who will be there for you?
I have found the best support and encouragement from my church family. Please consider finding a warm, loving, Christ-like community of worshippers to share your burdens with. In such a place, you will experience tremendous love, support, and healing. It is a gift from God! I will pray for you.
Cancer cells are just like any other cells. They are with you for almost 15 years ( the first detection of cancer cells take place after 15 years).
You have been blessed with a set of breaths which no disease can take away or no God can increase. You will live those breaths without any doubt.
The message is dont die before the last breath.
Whenever you need to share your feelings, mail me on getwellsoon@asknikhil.com
Try EFT (download manual from www.emofree.com ) and practise EFT. Please dont loose heart. You are very valuable to this universe.
