What are the late symptoms of bone cancer

My mother is a bone cancer patient. The disease site is near the knee. She couldn't walk when it was at its most serious. When the disease was checked, it was said to be in the middle stage. She underwent surgery and radiotherapy, but no chemotherapy. She has been discharged from the hospital now. What are the symptoms of late-stage bone cancer?

In the late stage of bone cancer, blood metastasis is very fast, and cancer cells can invade other parts of the body through the blood, mainly manifesting as systemic symptoms, bone pain, numbness, fractures, joint swelling, skin ulcers, etc.

1. Systemic symptoms: Most patients with advanced bone cancer often have systemic symptoms, mainly manifested as decreased appetite, weight loss, fever, etc.

2. Bone pain: Bone pain is the most typical symptom of bone cancer, mainly manifested in pain in the affected area, which is fixed, persistent and progressive pain, and is more obvious at night.

3. Numbness: Because tumor tissue compresses nerves and blood vessels, bone cancer patients often experience numbness in the distal part of the affected limbs.

4. Fractures: Pathological fractures or deformations often occur in the middle and late stages of bone cancer.

5. Joint swelling: pain in the affected area, local lumps and swelling in the joints and limbs, and limited movement.

6. Skin ulcers: Bone cancer patients may experience skin ulcers in the affected area.

Tips: Patients with advanced bone cancer often have to endure tremendous pain. It is recommended that patients develop good living habits to prevent recurrence or deterioration of bone cancer and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
