Need support

Friends, I am calling for support. I feel very down and I am afraid.

This is the picture of the last months:
My CA 15 3 markers kept going up notch by notch from 20 to 35 within a 4 month period which is not much but still noticable.I have had a high level of C-reactive protein for months with no identified inflammation and my vitamin D is very low.
In September I had a CT scan and all was normal. And a right breast mammo and MRI. Normal also.

I complained to my onc I had a little pain on the side of my chest like if I had a bruise on my rib. But there is no bruise. So he decided to send me today do a PET Scan. He said "that way you will stop worrying".

Well the doctor called to say 2 small spots lit up "behind the rib" on the right side (my BC was on the left side). He said he did not believe it was important but still called me in for a "CT Angiography" on Wednesday!
I am scared. Does this mean spots on the lungs or something else? What does behind the rib mean?
I thought "angiography" was to look at the blood vessels. What is he looking for? Why isn't normal CT enough?
What are your thoughts?
Sorry for not being stronger. Michka
