Thanks everyone for your replies, and such detailed info Rich! Another thing to look into it seems.

I've always had aches/pains while taking the A1 but a few months ago it became worse and I even had it while sitting although I don't wake up with it or need to take any meds for it.

Jean, I'm not sure as yet of the details as the onc just mentioned a ct guided bone biopsy and left the decision to me. I think once she case even a little doubt I knew I had to have this done and know for certain. I feel we can't take a chance with this disease, and I think being over four years out and highly triple pos is behind her decision in leaving nothing to chance.

Thanks again my friends, I've plenty of time to research as it won't be scheduled until January.
