Denise...Hello and welcome to OCF....there are many here who will be willing to help you and your mother with your questions. I assume a scan or x-ray has been done. Where is she being treated; what treatment options have been offered?

You might want to begin my searching the forums for specific phrases, i.e., both diagnoses, that should provide general information for you.

I'm sure that other members will log on and offer their opinions and support. In the meantime, know that you are not alone.
