Am I overly worrisome? What are the symptoms for mets?

[CLTann]

I have 0.8 cm IDC and mastec Sept 05. No nodes involvement. No radiation and no chemo. On Arimidex since Oct 05. ER/PR/Her2 +++ all positive. Age 60. I am in the lucky catagory of 95% safe from recurrence.

Lately, I had occasional dry cough, particularly going outside in cold weather -- suspicion of lung met. No cough during sleep. The coughs are infrequent.

About brain, there were occasional sharp but very short needle like nerve hits. Those occur about two times a day during work.

On bones, the hip bone is sore sometimes, not painful. By gently hitting the area, I seem to get some relief.

Cancer patients always worry about any signs of change, and I probably worry more since the only preventive treatment is Arimidex. Otherwise, I am quite energetic, have good sleeps, do walking exercise everyday and feel fine. Many of you veterans have gone through the symptom stages please give me some advise on whether I have reasons to be worrisome. In fact, I now have weaned from sleeping pills which were used for the past ten years before cancer discovery. I know I can insist to have new tests done but I don't want to get unnecessary radiation. I had my routine vist one month ago and my onc said there was no reason to do any test at that time.

Thank you for helping.
