A member asked:
Does bone cancer feel hard or soft if you find a lump on a bone?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bone cancer: Bone cancer can be hard or soft. Sometimes it is not palpable at all. Some are more aggressive, some are bone-forming. Many variations. You need thorough work up with orthopedic surgeon, possibly oncologist.
