My question is to all you stage 4 ladies. How did you know when your cancer spread? I've read that headaches are a good indicator that it's moved to the brain, but what about the liver or bones? are there symptoms that we should watch for? I'm also having the same bone pain as KsGal. I've asked my doctor if that could be a sign that it could be spreading and he told me no. I've asked about scans and he didn't feel that I needed them. I've requestedto have blood drawn to know my tumor markers and he told me that they are not a good indicator. Ok, so what should I be
looking for? I'm thinking of looking for a new doctor. I'm driving 3 hours one way to go to the Cancer treatment center of America in Philly and thinking of looking for a doctor closer to home. So glad I found this site!!
