Re: First mets scare since '05:(

You're all very kind and thank you too for all the good thoughts and suggestions. Steph, I'm guilty of self dx here and just thought bone mets and not much else lol...your suggestion is a good one and can only help so I'll definatly look into that. I'm due to fly to Scotland to visit my first Grandchild on the 19th so maybe a massage will help relax and calm the fears a little
Hopeful, this crossed my mind earlier too, but although my first dexa in '07 showed some slight bone loss, the one I had the following year showed great improvement so I was able to give up the Fosamax which I hate!
Leslie, your suggestion of crossing eye's as well as everything else made me smile, thank you and you have a beautiful dog.
To everyone else, thanks again for replying and sending good wishes, it really helps allay the fear and confirms none of us are alone while going through this.
Oh, for the days when a back ache was simply just that lol...I'll try to see the bottle as half full thanks to all your encouragement and just hope this is nothing more than a scare, but it's really reminded me of what a cancer dx means no matter how well we're doing or far out we are...
