Kelly,

In my opinion you need a second opinion immediately. The fact that you are experiencing pain is a sign that this needs to be looked at closer. The bone scan concurs with this location of your pain. I would ask for a complete review of scans and testing of the tumor markers cea and ca 27-29. Perhaps a bone biopsy can be done. The only other test I would recommend for further investigation would be the PET scan as this can pick up suspicious activity.

I do not think waiting 3months is the best advice; if this is a metastases get it under control now. Especially since you have pain, please get this checked as soon as possible.

Best of Luck to you,
