Becky,
The waiting is definitely the worst! You can see my dx below, but my onc agreed to do a bone scan and CT scan because of my worries about mets. I am not at high risk, but with HER2, who knows?

So, my bone scan lit up a spot on my back. Then I had an inconclusive xray, and an MRI with contrast to show what ever else they could find. The MRI found a buldging disk and signs of bone degeneration they attributed to arthritis. So, all in all they think I am clear of mets, but they did stop short of saying they KNOW it. They say that with what they found and my low risk for mets they are "99% sure" that it is not mets, but the only way to know 100% is to do a bone biopsy.

It still niggles at the back of my mind now and again.....

Hope you get great results. Keepign my fingers crossed for you.
