Hi Jean,
Thanks for your reply. I did have radiation, however the spot is on the other "good" side, directly under my implant. It is a "new" spot, as it was not there on my baseline, which was after surgery. So far, my markers have been running lower went I have gone for my scans, and although I know they are not always reliable, I have had a little more peace of mind going into the scans with the lower numbers.....
All I want for Christmas is a good scan..... I don't want much do I?! :-)
Love, Kelly
