My mum had cancer in her salivary gland about 6 years ago and got the all clear

recently had pain in her legs and mobility deceased. We have just found out it is bone cancer in her leg and they believe it has spread but unsure where from.

just wondering if anyone else had a similiar Experience and can share

    Hi Laren-c,  I am sorry to hear about your Mum.  I think to find out where it has come from they will have to do a bone biopsy on her leg.  I had breast cancer 13 years ago.  I started with hip and back pain last year.  It was cancer and they had to do a bone biopsy because they didnt know where it was coming from.  Turns out it is secondary breast cancer although no sign of cancer in my breast this time.  Good luck.
