Hi Brenda,
It is so normal to feel this way. First of all you have just completed herceptin. I think while on treatment we feel
safe then when the time comes for our final treatment there is a feeling of seperation anxiety. Every pain and ache is a concern. As Becky mentioned the shin would be a rare place for bone mets.

Keep up with your regular check ups, exercise, watch the diet and you are doing all you can to stay healthy.
It is not easy to adjust to the new normal allow yourself time.

Sending you all good wishes,
Jean
