Hi Maureen. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend.
and I am sorry that you are in such a fearful state. I can tell you that since Chemo I have had back and bone pain that I have never had before " BC"/ of course I worrried and felt somehow ut was realted and the beast was back. The reality is that back pain is very common and not always a bad sign. Sometimes it simply residual effects ot the cytoxic chemo.
After over 5 yrs and clear PETS very yr, I know now that my back pain is simply that.
I hope you are back to a better place soon!
