Michka - I am sorry to hear of your news of met on the sternum. It seems a long time right now to wait until Tuesday to see your doctor and make a plan. Please please try to not panic. I know it's scary news but you know there is a way to attack this bone met. Your signature doesn't say your treatment history and my memory isn't great. If you are not getting treatment now I would think adding a chemo would be the way to go. Or if it's just one spot maybe radiation -- have you had rads to that area before? Navelbine is known to work well on bones. I have a friend who had a met on sternum - it's gone now. Sorry I don't recall what tx she had. I wouldn't go with the extra pain of a biopsy either. MRI seems pretty clear on what's going on so like you say why put yourself through extra suffering. You are a brave fighter even though you may not feel it right now. Take good care and try to find some pleasant distractions as you wait to see you doctor. Pam
