Suggest Treatment For Bone Cancer

Yes. My mother has nerapathy in her legs and bone cancer. ABout 6 weeks ago she told me about an open wound on her toe that bleeds. It is still bleeding to this day. She has seen the pediatrist who said to leave it unbandaged and then her oncologist told her to bandage it. Either way she is unable to put on a shoe due to the bleeding and I am not sure who she should see next.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to know what exact bone cancer your mother has got and the cause for her neuropathy. Any open wound in toe requires attention and since the oncologist has told her to get it bandaged, I guess she should get it done. This will prevent dust from entering the wound and promote healing. The bandage is to be changed and wound should be cleaned regularly till complete healing is there.

Let her continue to see the oncologist and since she has a bone cancer therefore consulting a cancer surgeon is suggested for treatment and follow up. She should take antibiotics to prevent infection. Please do not worry.
