Deciding on the best treatment involves your doctors looking at where the cancer is - which is called the stage - and how fast growing it is - which is called the grade. Almost all bone tumours are high grade meaning that they can grow quite quickly.
Waiting for the results of these first tests can feel pretty scary, but this information is important, as it helps your doctors plan the right treatment.
There are three main types of treatment for bone tumours: surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Most people will need a combination of these treatments to get them back on track, but the exact treatment plan will depend on your age and general health plus the stage and type of the cancer.
If you have any questions about your treatment, don't be afraid to ask your doctor or nurse. They'll be happy to help you understand what's involved.
