Hi, 

recently I have been suffering the most awful health anxiety that was really focused on cancer I just couldnt shake it! Around 2 weeks ago I cried to my partner saying what if I have cancer and they are just missing it (putting all my symptoms down to anxiety I've had a few tests blood/chest X-ray and all been fine) anyway in a dramatic turn of events my partner has been complain of a sore shoulder for around a month, after listening to him complain I told him to go have it checked out as he said he thought he had broken it when he lifted out 5 month old honestly thought this was so silly broken shoulder from living a baby but he was in a lot of pain, he had an X-ray and was told by a nurse he had an extra bone she asked if it ever bothered him he said no, the next person told him there is a break and that he would need to wait on a call from the fracture clinic two days later he was called to go see the consultant that day we didn't think anything of this however walking out of the appointment it was clear his break has been caused by "an underlying condtion" a shadow on his shoulder bone that they have said looks like it is sitting right on top of it urgent mri was booked and was done this week and we are waiting to hear from them.

what we know so far is that there is something on his bone but they don't know what, Mri people have said it doesn't look sinister and consultant basically said he doesn't know what it is it's not deep in the bone, when my partner questioned his break the consultant told him he wasn't worried about that just now.

my partner was told on last Tuesday he had a break and up until now he hasn't been given any pain meds and is currently complaining of a lot of pain and it looks like he now has a lump on his shoulder.

just wondering if anyone who had bone cancer has been through similar how long did you wait for mri report ? When was biopsy done ? Etc 

aslo what can he do about the pain he thinks no one wants to prescribe anything because they don't know what's going on but he can't just keep suffering in pain! Any recommendations?

and also is this typical of bone cancer to start hurting and within a month cause a break ? I always assumed it would take months of pain building up before bone cancer would be suspected not just 3/4 weeks which is really worrying me because now I have it in my head it might be aggressive if it is cancer but I'm trying not to let him see I am worried for once I'm trying to be the stronger one as he is scared of what the outcome might be.
