My grandma went to the hospital. she had a lump on her head. they found nodules in femur bone. femur bone deteriorating. inserted rod and did bone marrow to check for cancer. also found a lump on lung causing all of us to believe it could be from her breast cancer years ago and now its spreading. the tests on marrow came back today and no cancer there. what else could it be?
