Bone cancer? - bone cancer
I have recently learned that my sister has bone cancer. First, they found a brain tumor, and after the execution of tests also discovered he had bone cancer. They say that the tumor was malignant melanoma. My sister was only 29 W and busy / challenges in his life. Her mother (only the same father), drank a lot when I was pregnant when she was born, and you have not received oxygen for too long, the brain has caused damage. It's not too late, however, has problems w / motor skills and language. I think I ask myself, what can anyone tell me about the bone cancer, treatment options are and how long can someone w / bone cancer are expected to live for? Thanks

My heart is with you and your sister. Life is unfair, is not it? It would not be facing the front of all things.
If you have a brain tumor and spread to the bone, the prospects are not good. The only thing that you say that your oncologist. I assume it saw an oncologist, a medical oncologist. We hope that this physician to become a part of the Cancer Center with a number of doctors and for many services.
The oncologist will recommend a course of treatment, often including radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment is usually for a period of several months as an outpatient. Your sister should go and chemotherapy, probably. There are a number of side effects of chemotherapy, but most can be treated. The Cancer Centers are on the ground and know what to expect. Must be able to keep her comfortable too.
The main thing is that someone will ask many questions. Ask until you understand what's happening. Call by phone to clarify if necessary. Someone needs to his appointmewith her. It is a traumatic experience and often the patient is too upset to all take in. There are also lots of information and can be difficult for a person to remember everything. Your sister and your family are entitled to understand what is happening and what are the plans.
There are still a lot of support. With the help of someone who is willing. The more time passes, you know what you need. It can, with shopping, go get laundry aid, emergency medical. When people ask me what they can do to be ready for a real answer. Tell them that he could give to a treatment or a different task to ride. This makes it easier to load and gives the person to do something concrete, so they can feel supported. That's good for everybody.
It is impossible to know which leads to cancer, in most cases. No one should blame themselves.
The American Cancer Society is a great help for patients and their families. Provide all kinds of people to help themselves or Wigsto educate a walk in the treatment and the people and support them. Their website is at www.cancer.org
Hope this helps. I am a former nurse who worked in this field, but also the relationship of two cancer patients.
I know how you feel. My father has just died of bladder cancer stage 4, which unfortunately also press and the bones. You're not to blame!. The first thing to do is take him to a doctor for treatment suggestions can tell your doctor that the chemotherapy (not bad) and radition. Chemotherapy, of course, never for my father, or no longer working as Radat, but you're lucky, they found earlier.
Hope this helps.

The doctor will hand a piece of paper and pencil and ask them to write a preliminary diagnosis for you, because you are sure that we try.
There are a number of primary bone tumors that begin in the head. They are difficult to diagnose and should ensure the preservation of her sister spoke about a major medical center, if you do not ..
I am 50 + years and recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma, bone cancer. I love) MayoClinic.com (Health Information. Another good site is Caring4cancer.com. Your oncologist is the primary source of information sources online. You should ask your sister WLL oncologists need to know whether the bones are cancer and brain tumors (brain tumor, is a bone cancer, primary or secondary). Once the diagnosis is clear that there are many types of cancer than the details for you. Your oncologist May refer to some of these sites. Be strong, informed and supported. Your sister may feel with information that overwhelmed during this time and need a strong shoulder to lean on. My prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you sorry for your sister. My husband had a grade 4 brain tumor and is almost dead, but overcame all obstacles and is now (almost) back to his old self. In the past I've seen in a cancer ward too much work and too often I have met wonderful people fight against this disease and we ask why he / she? There are no guidelines on how long you will live the last days and may all be surprised, and in recent years. This is a difficult and testing time that you face, but try to use most of their time together and nothing else to take care of themselves, too. Good luck.
Thank you sorry for your sister.
Problems such as yours put mine in the proportions and compress them into oblivion.
I have no answers for you, but I hope it will be even better.
