May have bone mets :(

Laurie09

So, I've been having waxing and waning mild discomfort in my mid thoracic spine for the past few months-1 year or so.  Wasn't ever really that bad until recently.  It got really bad a couple of weeks ago, but I had also increased my exercise and started doing some push ups and I thought maybe I just pulled a muscle.  

Anyway, my MO and I finally decided to do a bone scan which happened Monday.  She called me today and said there are some concerning signals on the bone scan, and I need to have an MRI and a CT scan.   I'm now waiting for the medical center to call me to schedule those tests.  

I had told her I was going to go see a chiropractor if the bone scan was negative, and she did tell me not to go to a chiropractor right now.  

I know I need to wait to get more information but am anxious waiting...

Oddly I'm not freaking out, more just anxious to have more information.   But this is how I felt when I got diagnosed as well.  I never freaked out, and it felt like they were talking about someone else.  That's how this feels too.  

Waiting...waiting...waiting...

Laurie - It's a good thing to have further testing, but if it is any comfort to you, bone scans can pick up a lot of things, such as arthritis, recent or past injury etc.  I had a little scare on my last bone scan and then the CT scan showed arthritis. 

Hoping you get good results.

Thank you Linda.  That's good to keep in mind.  Maybe it's nothing. 

Fingers crossed.

I have had the same pain mid-back. Like a pulled muscle sensation? I had a PET which was clear. I hope you have the same result- will be thinking of you.

Thank you, Tinkerbells.

I have a CT scan today and an MRI Sunday.

Laurie- saw your post in other forum. I'm so so sorry. I don't know what to say. This disease makes me so angry. I'm sorry

Thank you Tinkerbells.

I'm not sure how to think right now. 

I have an appt with my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist today so will know more later today.  

I appreciate all the support on this board.
