Hello Wave 

My dad is currently going through scans, test for bone cancer, the first can showed leisions on his spine, base of neck and shoulder blade, initially we thought it was a secondary for his prostate cancer, but have been told that his PSA level is still relatively low, so now we are scared that he may have a new cancer somewhere, he has a CtTap scan. I'm just terrified what they may find.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your dad’s ongoing diagnosis.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.

    The Community has various cancer specific support groups and I see you have found our Bone, secondary cancer group, we also have our main Bone cancer group.

    These are the places where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the links I've created above then choose ‘click to join' when the page opens where you need to join a group.

    You can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    You may find our Carers only and Family and friends groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.

    It’s always good to talk - our Macmillan Support Services provides lots of ways to connect. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00. Clicking here will give you more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
