Mets, then spot radiation to Pop's humerous (arm) to relieve bone pain resulted in an inevitable fracture, which given some time did not heal, which after a pin was inserted resulted in a post op near death reaction. He's still in hospital/rehab care, and struggling, as right before surgery he had (3) fine needle biopsies to rule out a new cancer in the same arm. Now his shoulder and arm have skin-level painful nodules multiplying like rabbits starting at the biopsy point of entry (lymph nodes near the clavicle/shoulder) and springing up and down the lymphatic path in his fractured arm.
I've convinced his rehab team that we need to get him transported to a local cancer center as he can't travel to his CCC for a radiation consult. Has ANYONE here dealt with tumor/cancer "tracking" where a biopsy has brought cells up to skin level causing pain, etc? Any help or referrals appreciated, and I'll be sure to keep you posted.
