Never posted before. Hope I'm doing this correctly! Im not familiar with this Web site but so glad I found it, and particularly this message. We're in the same place re bone scan results! I've been having left rib pain for two weeks (in the area of my lumpectomy and SNB from last June), so onc scheduled a bone scan this past Wed. Different than my clear scan at dx last June, this one lit up at the fifth vertebral body--interestingly, nowhere near the area of my rib pain, which did not light up at all! I had a followup MRI yesterday and, of course, I have to wait until Monay for the results. I had myself dxd with mets for sure until I started reading all the messages regarding the current post and the long list of potential other causes for the hot area. I think I can breathe again! So glad I found this site and this particular message! Here's hoping that we both get good results from our MRIs. It's just so terribly difficult to stay calm. I truly don't like feeling I'm just one test away from potential disaster. I'm hoping that with more time beyond the dx and when my trmt is complete, I won't feel quite so vulnerable....
