I feel the way that you do Lala- I just don't know what else to ask for. The bone scan showed the one spot. The x-ray and the CT were negative, and my marker was 20.3 The only thing left that I can think of is a PET, however, if I did knick this area, there probably hasn't been enough time for this to heal/change from the scan I had 10 days ago. What further testing can I do? I did read that the ribs cannot be effectively biopsied and that they would have to remove it to do that, which I don't think that we would do at this point.I don't even know what else to request...
