Can secondary bone cancer be cured?
The case I'm talking about is 19 years old, with cancer that now spread to the bones. Her doctor gives her 3 months of life. I researched and found treatments for bone cancer, but they don't specify whether or not they can really cure it. I would like to know the possibilities of her survival if one of the treaments is taken and how many years she can live due to treatment. I guess it's not possible for her to become old...Thank you.

renal cell cancer that has spread to other side of body into arm bone?
My beloved brother (whom I was caring for ) was only 58 when he died of liver failure 2 mths ago. Now and at the same nursing home my Mother is taking therapy for her arm that just broke for no reason. They did a CAT scan and said they found cancer of the kidney (clear cell carcinoma) that had spread to the bone in arm. They called it mesatise (I think) They have told me there is no treatments they can do because of her age (84) but she sure doesn't look like it or act like it before) and the fact that becasue it had already spread to the bone it was probably all over the body. I am there everyday no matter what just like I was with my brother. The past few days she has been seeing things , getting really nervous, does'nt know how to dial a phone no. (she was also diagnosised with mild demetia 4 yrs ago) she is getting to the point of not being able to even feed herself. I feel so useless and my question is how fast does this type travel, could it be in brain. why call in hospice now?

Information about breast cancer that has spread to the bone marrow?
My Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer approximately 4 years ago. After chemotherapy and whatever else she went through she has since been in remission. The last 2 months she has been in and out of the hospital, first with pneumonia and then a pulmonary embolism (that went undetected for a week because they refused to do a CT scan, thanks Docs!). ANYWAY, I don't know the specifics but they did a bone marrow biopsy on her - I think she said it was because her platelet counts continued to drop or something to that effect. Well the results of the biopsy came back yesterday and they are saying that the breast cancer is back, but now in her bone marrow. She doesn't actually meet with her Oncologist until next Monday, but this is tearing me up and I can't wait for answers. My question is - what is the normal route of treatment? I have been googling my heart out, but all the answers seem to be directed towards breast cancer that has spread to the bone and not the bone marrow. I'm not even sure if there is a difference at this point, I just want to be properly informed. Is there a bone marrow transplant in her future? After chemotherapy, perhaps? I know family members tend to be the best hope for a match and I am in the military coming up for orders overseas, so if it IS a possibility I need to let my command know so I can apply for compassionate reassignment ASAP.
This is really hard on me because her and I are so close, and I don't want to lose my Mom. I know there is no cure but I just need a little hope.
