Don't get me started about this: I had two chest CT's where the radiologists (who didn't know me at all) literally wrote "metastatic disease" on my report. As it turned out (2 pet scans, more Ct's and bone scans, etc later) I had minor radiation damage on my lung. I did not have mets. As the other women have said, it's some radiologist on call, reading your scan and covering all bases -- and with a bc history, they are looking for mets.
Take a deep breath and wait for back-up scans to get more info. It's very common at our age to have minor asymptomatic arthritus in your spine. Very common.
Hang in there. Try not to go there until you really know what' s going on.
Take care
