The first week of December I had what I thought was lower back muscle pain (I had never any back pain before, though). Had had a clear (they said) bone scan in October. Was feeling great ever since May surgery and all through October and November.
My rad onc, during a regular followup appt. the end of Dec., said to get a CT scan. That showed mets to the bones (and liver). An MRI of the spine showed mets, too.
I have pain in small area on the right (mast.) side in front just below the ribs and more (worse) in the back. I don't know if it is a specific tumor or if it is a tumor pressing on a bone. Onc (another one in the practice) today didn't really answer the question. Am on weekly Navelbine so will ask again next week.
Just when you think things are good...
(Had 2 Herceptin treatments, with the Navelbine, but had a very bad heart reaction (had to go to the ER), so I'm not getting that anymore. unfortunately.)
