Hi Alaska Angel, I too have been following your posts here with intrest because I am in the same boat with you. I just wanted to let you know what my Onc. told me a couple of weeks ago, I went to him complaining of neck a shoulder pain that I have been having since Feb. he ran some blood test and sent me for a bone scan and he said IF it was bone mets he would put me on Heceptin with Taxol or Taxatore right away because I only had A/C without a Taxane when first dx 4 1/2 yrs ago. He also said if I was newly dx HER2+ that I would of gotton the Herceptin now. I am happy to say the bone scan was neg. for mets it showed arthritis in my neck and lower spine, I asked if the arthritis is being caused by the Arimidex I have been on for the past 3 yrs. of course he said no not from the Arimidex..... me I'm not so sure of that. I am also wondering how they can tell the diffrence between bone mets and arthritis on a bone scan?
