If caught early, it can often be cured, but a cure is not likely if the disease spreads to other parts of the body. That’s why it’s important to recognise symptoms and get a diagnosis as early as possible. In many cases, there are no obvious symptoms at first, but if they do occur, they can be similar to those of less serious conditions like urinary tract infections and kidney stones.

A 29-year-old from Glasgow was shocked to discover her chronic knee pain was actually a rare cancer . Rebekah Laverty suffered with debilitating knee trouble for years and was told in 2019 that she was suffering from an inflammatory condition called bursitis, which causes painful swelling. However, after years of unsuccessful treatments an MRI finally revealed she actually had a 13cm cancerous tumour above her right knee. ‘The type of cancer I have is usually found in the arms, legs or near joints such as the wrist or ankle but it’s so rare I’ve been told a GP will maybe see one case in their whole career – so mine wasn’t picked up,’ she explains. ‘My referrals were also delayed due to Covid. It took until September 2021 for me to be referred for an MRI and get some answers. ‘I received the news that I had this cancer at an appointment that I went to on my own. By then I’d been to countless appointments with no answers so I had no faith that this time would be any … [Read more...] about Woman chooses to have leg amputated after knee pain turns out to be rare cancer

I’ve started taking mental notes of every weird thing someone says to me when I tell them my dad is dying. ‘You never know what they can do these days.’ ‘It’s probably not as bad as you think.’ ‘Hope he gets well soon!’ When he first received his diagnosis almost five years ago, I was a little more sympathetic to these optimistic well-wishers. By now, I have run out of patience. We need to get better at talking about dying. My dad’s cancer has never been the type you can cure. This was explained to us from the very beginning. The average life expectancy for people with his condition is around five years and we have been told we are coming to the end of the road. So why, even now, as our family meets with hospice workers and oncologists, are people still pushing their optimism on me? The fact is, we hate talking about dying – Brits especially. We’re an awkward bunch. We believe in stiff upper lips and ‘carrying on’. When people cry, we rush to make tea before … [Read more...] about My dad has incurable cancer – I’m fed up of people optimistically telling me he’ll be OK

Around one in three people never look for tell-tale signals such as a new mole or a change in colour or shape of an existing one.
