Hi @netpatient, can you share a bit more? You say your hip and shoulder were destroyed due to metastases from cancer. (Note, I also added this discussion to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/)
Do you have bone metastasis? Have you discussed the possibility of surgery with your cancer team?

That is where you may wish to start. Ask your cancer team if replacement surgery may be an option for you.
