I saw my orthopedic surgeon for something unrelated (a problem I've had with my shoulder for the past few months) today. After some x-rays and some testing, they found that I don't have a torn rotator cuff or anything, but another tumor in my bone of my shoulder. I am back to square one again. New CAT scan, MRI, and surgery ordered. They already assume that this is a form of bone cancer, and if that turns out to be the case, I'm [BAD WORD REMOVED].
