Secondary bone cancer

Hi, 

 

my husband was rushed to hospital 6 weeks ago with kidney stones. A scan showed a tumour in his pelvic bone. The hospital did many other tests that all came back clear. We were told that the tumour might be cancer and that it's likely to be a primary issue. However, today after an agonising 6 week wait we received biopsy results that have shown it to be a secondary bone cancer. They don't know where the primary cancer is located as all the tests didn't show anything. We've never heard of this before- has anyone had a similar experience? 

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Sasghar although Im sorry about your husband's biopsy results.

    CUP, or cancer of the unknown primary, can occur sometimes and at the moment this may be the case with your husband. You can find out more about CUP by clicking here, as well as secondary bone cancer just here, but if you'd like to talk this through with one of our cancer nurses then do be sure to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences with you soon as well.

    Best wishes to you both,
