Well, my specialist says that it's not life threatening so I think I can afford to worry bout this. Anyway I'm on 14 day MC untill I get a full diagnosis so I was wondering if anyone here could tell me what's life to happen if I do get it?
who is ur specialist?
from NCC?

Nope, orthopeadic surgeon. Like I said I've just underwent several scans on my leg and am still awaiting the results. I think I will be referred to NCC should I really be diagnosed.
As FI has said, a PES status is probably the least of your worries currently.
But if you really must know, if your diagnosis is still pending by the time you go for your check-up at CMPB, then you should submit a specialist's letter to the MO anyway.
Most likely you will get PES D (unfit pending further evaluation). Then once your diagnosis is certain, you will be asked to return to CMPB for a follow-up.

I'm already enlisted. I just OOC-ed BMT cause everyone thought it was a stress fracture. But I recently consulted my old specialist who told me that it might be cancer. I'm currently pes B btw

Then just ask your specialist for a proper letter once the diagnosis is confirmed.
As to what PES you will get, that is not for me or for anyone else in here to say.
All I can say is, if the cancer is for real, then your PES status is the very least of your problems right now.

Well, he was the one who I've been seeing all these years and he has performed surgery twice on my left leg so yeah...
Well, actually cancer or tumor are not permantly downgraded. Unless it affect you permanently.
For example. Some1 got brain tumor.
During the process of treatment from surgery to chemo, he may be temp downgraded. This is because one need to rest. And chemo make the person very sick. After two to three years he recover, he is normal and he will be Pes B again. However, surgery may sometime cause some perm damage, such as memory loss and frequent headache. Then he will be downgraded perm to the respective disability.
