@success101 Hello. Sorry that you've been told you have bursitis. I hope you get relief
The MRI or CT scan (not sure what to call them as I've had so many different scans this past year) is what showed that my colon cancer has metasticized to my bones (also my liver and lungs.)
The bone "lesion" is sort of eating away at my right hip bone (iliac crest I think it's called. )

@colleenyoung The cancer center that I had been going to for this past year is about 45 minutes to 1 hour's drive. Lots of traffic and some construction on the roads has me at the "last straw" not to mention that I feel like the Oncologist that I've been seeing there did not have the least concern for the horrible excruciating pain I've been in, (other than ordering the CT scan on April 4th.) She booked my next appointment for May 9th !!
I was supposed to wait over a month to find out that I now have bone mets?? While not being able to walk anymore...I haven't been able to put weight on my right leg since mid-March. I'm not a big person and only weigh 132 lbs..

Anyway, There is a cancer center 12 miles from my house and they do radiation therapy. I'll start this week.
(Long story...When I went to the Univ. of Penn in Philadelphia last April 1,2015 for a "second opinion", They actually recommended the place where I have been going. (Philadelphia is a 3-hour drive, so, I've only had the Y-90 procedures there.)

I can't believe I let it go on for a year. I'm going to transfer to this closer facility and hope I get better care (even though they were unknown to the great doctors at the Abramson Cancer Center.) Although it did take a few phone calls from my Oncologist at the Univ. of Penn to this new cancer center to get me "fast tracked" and in the door, for which I'm forever grateful.
