Hi there. Just woke up and feeling like yesterday was just a dream.....boy, have there been alot of days like that in the last year! Everything was a little confusing, but here is the "jist" of it. I had the bone scan first, and that is where the spot first showed up. They did take a couple of extra close shots to double check and the spot still showed up. They said the bone scan can be too sensitive, and that it could just be an old injury (I don't remember any and my bone scan in June was clear), so they wanted to check it with an x-ray. Supposedly an X-ray would show any kind of stress fracture, etc. That was clean. Then we moved on to the CT scan. That was clean also- nothing showed on it. The radiologist (from the bone scan) and the "CT team" review it with my onc. (I think he was on the phone). My onc. felt that it must be some kind of old injury, because it was just one spot? and that mets usually present differently. The CT team said that in a "normal person" (I've never been normal!), they wouldn't have even blinked at this one and wouldn't have ordered the additional tests.

I never know when to be comfortable anymore. How does all of this sound? I see my onc. in a week and he has the results of everything. All I could think about during all of this was boy this must be aggressive if it is something, because I JUST finished chemo and am still on Herceptin. Then my mind started to really wander, and it was bad from there.....

Thank you all so much for your help. It is so nice to talk to people who understand and care so much.

Love, Kelly
