Here we go again or not

I was diagnosed in March of 2011 with stage IIB HER2+ er/pr- breast cancer. I finished Herceptin in August of 2012. For about the past week and 1/2 I've been getting a pain in my shoulder blade when I stand up straight or lean backwards that extends to my ribs on my right side. I am so afraid this might be liver mets. It feels more like a muscle pull but it's so close to where the liver might be I don't know. I have my oncologist appt for 4 month checkup next Thurs. Just wondering if I should call up and make it earlier or just wait until then. My oncologist does not do the marker tests or has not done any scans since 3/2012 when my liver counts were high and she did an ultrasound of the liver and a bone scan which came up negative. I have 2 teenagers and 2 older daughters and a husband. My husbands first wife died of brain cancer I don't need for him to go through that again. I just pray this isn't mets. I don't know what to do.
