If you experience any of these, see a doctor immediately:

• Persistent bone pain that gets worse over time.

• Unexplained swelling or a lump on the bone.

• Frequent bone fractures or a bone breaking without significant injury.

• Unexplained fatigue or weight loss.

• Early diagnosis can increase the chances of successful treatment.

 Do's:

• Attend regular check-ups: Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring recovery and detecting any recurrence.

• Eat a healthy diet: Proper nutrition helps maintain energy levels and supports recovery.

• Exercise gently: Engage in light physical activity as recommended by your doctor to improve overall well-being and maintain muscle strength.

• Stay informed: Educate yourself about your condition and treatment options.

 Don'ts:

• Avoid high-impact activities: Protect the affected bone by refraining from activities that may cause further injury or fractures.

• Don't skip treatments: Follow through with all scheduled treatments and therapies as directed.

• Avoid infections: With a weakened immune system, especially during chemotherapy, take steps to reduce your risk of infection (e.g., frequent hand washing, avoiding people who are sick).
