Ishy,

I had terrible back pain thoughout the pregnancy that I was carrying when diagnosed and when I had the bone scan after his birth there was a big patch in the same area, my onc calmed me down said it was pregnancy related but I guess I didn't ever really beleive him no matter how much I talked myself into it. I had repeat scans a few months later and it was still there no change and no mets the patch was too symetrical. I am now calm about the back problems I guess I am in the '50%'? or so of adults with back pain.
Pain in the ribs after all that we survivors go through in that area is surely quite common?? I know I am starting to get pains there too!
Good luck with your results on Tuesday and enjoy your holidays
