[|Human|] I have pain and tenderness under my left rib cage. When I cough or sneeze it appears that a bulge erupts and I have to gently push it back. I have had stomach surgery for non-cancerous tumor and colon cancer-2007-treated by surgery and chemotherapy. This new problem has me concerned. My CEA in October was 1.8 and oncologist /hematologist felt that was good. I am 81 years of age.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. I will advise you to do PET SCAN so that activity and reaction around bone can be identified. CA will lead to osteoporosis, so this can also lead to weak bones and pathological fracture. PET scan will differentiate between simple fracture or fracture with metastatic lesion. Many of my patients of malignancy get improvement in morbidity by yoga Panama so you can also do that. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
