@gbnana I was also referred back to PCP by my oncologist. x-ray showed only mild degeneration in hip, and PT says it is soft tissue, but I have my doubts. Pain continues and radiates from one spot.
I am going to to through hoops like PT and then will press for more imaging. Bloodwork seems like a good idea but my oncologist does not do those. If this goes on, there is a different oncologist I can see who does do bloodwork,
I never expected to make it 8 years. I have not been nervous- cancer on back burner with kid whose health is my priority. But pain signals a problem I need to pay attention to and pain needs to be addressed. Good luck!
