Question 1

pain&cyst in rt hip also had breast cancer is this anything to woot about?

Accepted Answer

Be evaluated: Breast cancer can be very sneaky and show up late and away from breast with bone lesions.

Question 2

metastatic breast cancer has gone to hip bone; prognosis?

Accepted Answer

This depends: The answer depends on many factors. How old is the persone, what other medical problems do they have, when did the breast cancer first occur, what other sites are involved, what are the characteristics of the cancer (estrogen, Progesterone receptors, her2/neu status) and what prior treatments were administered are some of the issues that factor into an answer.

Question 3

what is the prognosis for metastatic breast cancer to hip bone?

Accepted Answer

Treatable,NotCurable: The term "prognosis" is like an on/off switch and does not take into account disease control and quality of life. After all, diabetes is incurable but doesn't have the same connotation as cancer. Many breast ca patients with bony mets respond very well to rx and can live for years with this. It is best to focus on response to rx rather than cure.

Question 4

3yrs ago i had breast cancer. since aan few weeks i suffer a pain in my upper leg and sometimes the hip. not a pinched nerve.  should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: I imagine you mean about cancer. If you are really concerned, contact your oncologist to discuss your fears and perhaps have an exam. It's not unusual to have follow up scans after cancer - just to check. Do it if you have concerns. Building anxiety will not do you any good - I expect it will reassure you. I hope so.

Question 5

i am a breast cancer survivor since 2007. i had clear test results, clear margins, clear lymphnodes and bone scan in 2007. now, i am having pain in hips. why could it be?

Accepted Answer

If : If the pain is persistent and especially if it is worse at night, with weight bearing, or radiates from your back to your hips or your hips to your knees, you should get checked out by your physician.  If it is as simple as arthritis he or she may be able to help you feel better and you will likely be reassured having someone double check that the pain is not cancer related.

Question 6

i am a breast cancer survivor and am having increasing pain in my shoulder and hip bone on my affected side i had a double mastectomy 2011?

Accepted Answer

Encourage you: to have your health checked to determine the causes of this pain. Are you getting regular follow up s/p your surgery?

Question 7

my 33 yr old daughter has been diagnosed with stage 3 her2 negative er positive pr positive breast cancer and now after pet scan has it in spine and hip and upgraded to stage 4 how terminal is this cancer?

Accepted Answer

: I would consider a HealthTap consultation.  This is not a general question.  Best wishes to your family.

Question 8

need prognosis for woman 75, stage 4 breast cancer, mets to (hip/knee bone): otherwise very healthful. refuses treatment. planning long rv trip soon!

Accepted Answer

Can't preduct: She should go on her trip and enjoy herself. There are lots of different kinds of breast cancer and even tumors of the same kind and at the same stage can kill in a short time or stay quiescent for years. Cherish every day you have together.

Question 9

32 female. had ct ab/pelvis in nov and ct pulmonary angiogram to rule out pe in late dec. scared of breast cancer/other cancer from radiation?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: The reasons for the radiologic studies were sound ones and not doing these studies would have had much more risk than the radiation exposure to the breast. It is highly unlikely that you would get breast cancer from the CT or angiography.

Question 10

how common is breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Lifetime risk 1 in 8: It is estimated that women in the US have a 1 in 8 lifetime risk of developing breast cancer, with the median age at diagnosis of 60.  Common misconceptions include "I have no family risk" or "I am too old to get breast cancer".  In truth, most cases occur in people without a family history and the incidence increases the older one gets.  See:  http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/breast.html.
