You need counseling: By your oncologist(if you have cancer). If you are simply worried, first find out if you have reasons to worry about or not. The fear of the unknown is what is making you nervous so find out more about what is wrong and what can be done to treat the problem. Knowledge is power!

Bone cancer is rare!: There is a higher chance of being hit by a car or struck by lightening than getting bone cancer. Over 20, 000 people are struck by lightening each year and there are approximately less than 3000 patients diagnosed with primary malignancies of bone in the usa each year. There are other things to worry about, but bone cancer should not be one of them.
