So I had some pain about 3 inches from the edge of my waist towards my belly button about 2 months ago. They did a CT scan without contrast because I'm on Metformin and found nothing. Then they did an ultra sound and found nothing. Then I thought I threw my hip out in belly dancing class (lol) and the darn ortho got scared because of my bc diagnosis and threw a lumbar and pelvic MRI with no contrast...again found nothing and chalked it up to muscular issues.
So, my pain under my right rib, around my waist area went away but recently came back. I'm scared to death it's liver mets. But I keep thinking that if I had liver mets something would of shown up in one or more of all those bloody scans they did and my blood work last month came back normal.

Need some wisdom or a good slap in the face.
