A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens to you when you have cancer in the bones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Cancer in a bone usually comes from another organ. A person may have no symptoms or could experience pain, weakening of the bones with subsequent fractures, or elevation of the calcium causing mental changes and kidney problems. There are drugs available to improve bone health in patients with bone metastases.
