Shannon,
Don't we all wish we knew the answer to this one! I too have had 2 neg pets and am paranoid of mets. Who isn't. Other then feeling a lump, lets say in your armpit,breast, or neck, the only way you will tell if mets is blood test, like a liver enzyme being out of whack, pain, like in your abdomen or headaches, dizziness or catching it on a scan. My dr. told me if it came back it would rear its ugly head somehow. There is the new blood test, cell search, but my dr. doesn't believe in it. It's really supposed to be for stage 4 and to determine if the meds are working. All we can really do is demand scans and get regular blood tests every 3 months. Its not enough i know. But right now they don't have anything better!
