Hi all, hoPe you can share some thoughts/reassurance.
Basically for the last 3 years I have been living with 'bone cancer' - not according to Doctors though!
My story starts in Jan 09 when I was playing baseball on the Wii. I felt a twang across my chest muscle, ignored it and carried on. The next day I randomally touched the area and noticed it was swollen. Over time the visible swelling we t down but left a 'bump/ridge' where right meets sternum. Over the 3 years I have seen 3 different doctors about 20 times, had extensive blood work and chest X-ray (purely for HA as Drs think it's hard muscular tissue from damage and showed no concern at all!) all results were fine. How can I feel this structure and to everyone else it feels like a normal rib?! I have days where I plan my funeral as I think everyone is overlooking this and that it is something sinister.
Sorry for ramble - any advice? x
