X-Ray - Hips and Chest

I had complained of pain in the hipbone area, so the doctor ordered an x-ray.

The hip x-ray showed ill-defined lytic lesions (destruction of bone due to a disease process, such as cancer) in bilateral ischial and pubic bones.  Further action was recommended.

The chest x-ray showed moderate pleural effusion on my left chest cavity and mild on the right.

A chest tap was ordered.
