Well, you would think you could rely on a bone scan and x-ray. I had them to the left pubic bone area as I had pain there. Results were negative, but pain persisted, so doctor ordered MRI. Unfortunately, it shows extensive bone mets in that area, so it's time to change regimes again.

As you can tell from my signature, I am one of the more heavily prtreated women still walking!! We switched to abraxane today, and I'll stick with the tykerb as well...hopefully that will show great results.

Does anyone have any different thoughts? I have an app't with a radiation oncologist tomorrow to zap that area. I'll probably get a second opinion on treatment options, as I usually do when major changes like this occur. Any thoughts? Am probably thinking Sloan Kettering as I'm on the east coast (Phila), and have already visited Johns Hopkins.

Thanks for any thoughts...

Kind regards,
