Secondary breast cancer

[maddie50]

Has anyone had secondary breast cancer in the bones? I need some help and advice. I had breast cancer stage 3, 7 years ago. I’ve been having a pain in my bottom for a while. First I thought it was internal haemorrhoids but now it seems to be the whole left buttock and I am wondering if the cancer has now gone into my bones starting in my bottom/pelvis? Where does it normally start in the bones. Can anyone help me. Thank you

if a cancer metastasises it can end up anywhere - as I understand things. If you are in the UK, phone one if the cancer charities on Tuesday. Such as MacMillan.

I will do this thanks so much for your reply.

As Happyrosie said, the metastases can go anywhere. Please get in touch with your GP/Onco Team to have an urgent investigation for peace of mind.

I had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy for grade 3 cancer…in 2014.

I was told that radiotherapy could affect the muscle in my arm.

The same arm..has had ongoing issues ever since then…mostly if I raise it (for instance to comb my hair)….a sharp pain in the muscle. But it can also occur by simply turning over in bed.

🤔I was wondering..if anybody had experienced similar in the side they’d had radiotherapy.
