Rectal Cancer that has Spread to Bones?

Has anyone had bowel cancer that has spread to your bones? What were your symptoms? I'm sure that mine has. My symptoms are

Pain inside of both knees

Stiff neck

Odd pains back of left thigh 

Right arm felt weak while brushing my teeth.

Anyone had this please? 

 

  • Hello WorriedSam, 

    I am sorry to hear about all these symptoms you have been experiencing and I hope that you will hear from some of our members who have had similar symptoms before. 

    Try not to worry too much if you can or draw any conclusions as to why you are experiencing these symptoms as there are so many other possible explanations. I think it would be a good idea to talk to your oncologist about this - they will be in the best position to tell you whether they think additional tests are necessary or if it is likely to be nothing to be concerned about. Either way, it is important to flag these symptoms with your specialist or if you are having trouble getting hold of your consultant, to talk to your GP in the first instance about this and about your worries. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything is ok. Do let us know what you find out if you get a moment! 

    Best wishes,
