See orthopedic ...: Cancer specialist and get 2 opinions. Having a complete picture of the tumor type and locations as well as knowing if there are metastases is very important. Please make sure to have a team of physicians working together to optimize a plan of treatment which may include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. That will provide the best possible plan for fighting this tumor.
