can they biopsy the new mass to be sure it is the same tumor youhad before ie, is it bc, is it her2+, is it ER+?

In the US we recently got FDA approval for denosumab for bc bone mets--not sure what your mass is since you say it is wrapping around the spine rather than of the spine (vertebrae)

Hope this helps!
