Thank you so much for replying, you did help put my mond at ease a little. My onc says she is watching me like a hawk as i am "very" high risk - she's doing the MRI because the pain persists. She said she hopes it's just some arthritis in my bones just acting up - just what I need! But she did warn me that sometimes small lesions don't show on bone scans, and that she is not a great believer in scans anyway. My original tumor didn't show up on Mammo until it was pretty far advanced - I found my cancer myself when my lymph nodes swelled up first, to 4cm. My tumor was only 1cm so she says this was something that REALLY wanted to spread, hence the high risk.

I guess I'll wait and see. I'll let you all know how the scan turns out next week. Thank you again for responding to my question, and I'll try to post more often!
