Hard lump on pelvic bone. Panicking

Hello, I’ve just popped on to say how sorry I am to read that you are not in a good place, as we used to chat at one point. Look, I’m no doctor, and we can’t see what you describe, but could this be a pelvic hernia? Just a thought, but are you able to give your GP a call first thing tomorrow? 

When did you last have cancer? I presumed you would have yearly full body MRI’s to check for distant recurrence as that won’t be picked up on a mammogram or brain scan. 

Have you done anything different, exercise, gardening etc? Try not to worry and maybe just call the doctor tomorrow for peace of mind. You can also call the breast care nurses as they said to me call anytime for anything, a cough, new ache, pain etc.

finished treatment last year. Only had a full body mri done when I was diagnosed. I’ve asked about it but the doc was “sure” it hadn’t spread

There's a very good chance this will be a simple strain or hernia, but you won't relax until you know. Do give your GP a call today and make an urgent appointment - they will know if you need to give the CNS team a call. You need to put your mind at rest. Very best wishes. xxx

Ok so got sent to the wrong doc today -gynaecologist- but he checked the bones. Says there’s a difference on the two sides of the pelvis and should check it out but he doesn’t think it’s bone cancer because “bone cancer does not present that way” Whatever that means.

Seeing the orthopaedic on Monday. Paid to go private cause my life is so messed up right now that I was having breakdowns even before this. They’ll refer me to the NHS for tests though. One consultation was as much as I could afford.

I got a new job. I’ve wanted it so much and I got it today of all days. I’m scarred of moving. Hate the place I’m at now, it drives me to tears and scarred to move in case I’m sick.

Try not to panic. Congratulations on the new job!  

Rightly or wrongly, paying privately for your first consultation may well speed up your NHS tests if needed - I've been there and it definitely did

Hold on to what the gynae doctor said - this is very unlikely to be bone cancer.  I hope this is the case.

Hope you manage to have a peaceful weekend and get good news on Monday.

Thanks. And btw the whole private thing is sad. When I first got diagnosed I had to go private cause I could not get an appointment with my GP to check out a 5cm lump in my breast.

Go figure 

Heres hoping the doc is right

Glad you got to see a doctor today. Well done securing a new job! Change is scary. I was scared when I left my old job (last September). I wondered  …. what on earth have I done? But soon after that I knew I’d  done the right thing. I’m much, much happier, instead of feeling that I had a huge weight in my shoulders. You’ve been given a fresh start … that’s wonderful news.
