Bone Cancer Support Group

Hi everyone,

My son has had some tenderness in his arm for maybe 3 months or so. I thought it was odd because he didn't injure it and kept expecting it to go away. It didn't get any worse but I finally took him to a pediatric Orthopedist. They took an x ray and point blank told us that it is either a bone infection or bone cancer. We are kind of shaken up at the moment and I wanted to find out if anyone can share their wisdom with me on what their symptoms were like and what we may be looking at in the future. Any thing you can tell me would be appreciated. Is 3 months a long time to have pain that doesn't change or spread etc...

Thank you!
Cherie
