Both lung cancer and leukemia are considered malignant tumors. Leukemia is actually a malignant tumor of the blood. Both might produce metastasis which might travel in far parts of the body. This is particularly easy for the leukemia as it is not a solid tumor as most are.
If the metastasis reaches far parts of the body and starts to multiply they might affect the tissue that was healthy before. The symptoms would depend on the type of tissue affected. When affecting bone tissue, the bone itself might weaken and be more susceptible to fracture. In the lungs, the metastasis might block the normal blood drainage and produce fluid in the lungs. If they affect the spleen, the blood coagulation might be affected and blood clots might be produced. The blood clots might further reach any artery in the body and reduce the blood flow. If the local decrease in blood flow is not so severe, the part that is not supplied enough with blood might be painful.
However, this is the worst case scenario. All the symptoms you reported like: broken hip, severe pain in thigh, spasm in the fingers, fluid in lungs, and blood clots in the arm might be unrelated to each other caused by several diseases simultaneously. Therefore, a visit to a specialist in oncology to rule out the possible metastasis is recommended. If there are no metastases, you might be referred to different specialists for further examinations of various pathological disorders affecting the adequate organs.
