Hip/leg pain...

Hello...I'm new to the site, but I've been so inspired by all of you!

I was diagnosed in 2000 with Stage IIb Infiltrating ductal ca...3/10 nodes positive. The tumor was ER negative, PR "slightly positive", and HER2 +++. Mastectomy, (ended up bilateral later in the year), AC and Taxotere.

I've recently been experiencing pain in my left hip and femur...pain is increased at rest (sitting), almost intermittent, and is tolerable.

My regular follow up appointment with my onc is on Wednesday...I will definitely ask for a bone scan.

My concern (almost panic) is obvious...if there are bony mets, we'll conquer as we did before, but has anyone else (who has been dx with bony mets) experienced this type of bone pain?

Again, thank you all so much...this journey (even 11 years out) never gets boring!
