Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having some lesion in your left femur. Your Doctor wants to somewhat detailed examination of it.He suspected that it can be something related to prostate,he asked about prostate. Similarly he asked about cancer because it can be something related to cancer. But it can only be confirmed MRI and if needed by biopsy. At this stage nothing can be said about its prognosis and further treatment. You can discuss your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your query.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
