Hello Sandy,

I am sorry you are dealing with this question of possible bone metastases. I can tell you about my experience regarding bone mets.

In my case a PET scan found a 'single bone met' located in my thoracic vertebrae. A bone scan was then ordered and the results confirmed the finding of the PET scan. I then had a bone biopsy on my thoracic vertebrae; the results confirmed that the cells were consistent with breast cancer.

I now monitor my bones using the bone scan and the MRI of the thoracic and lumbar. I am taking the drug Zometa once a month for my bones.

Unfortunately, I think it is possible to have a single bone metastasis as it has to start somewhere. I would suggest that you get a second opinion immediately.
I do not think waiting 6 weeks 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
