Freaking out

hello, I've just passed the 3 year mark since my TN diagnosis. 4 1/2 months ago we welcomed our first baby to the world and things were really looking up. Then the pains started...first it was a burning sensation in my back, close to my spine then across my ribs on the same side (left, cancer was on the right). It's not constant but it's there every day, I also sometimes have pain when I breathe on that side, again not all the time though. My surgeon did some poking and prodding over my ribs that didn't cause any pain. Maybe it's to do with carrying a baby everywhere but it doesn't feel muscular. My fear is it's mets to the ribs or spine and/or lungs. I don't have a cough or shortness of breath. I have a PET scan later today and I can barely function. I'm hoping there's some people out there who can talk me back down to earth and who have experienced sinilar pain that turned out not to be cancer. I'm so afraid for my little girl and her future!

I am in the waiting game with you. Some abnormal liver tests and ovarian TM elevated. I just wanted to respond to let you know that someone was reading and thinking of you. I’ve had numerous biopsies in the past for funky things (all turned out to be normal) but I know that the waiting part is the hard part. Praying that all is clear!!!

Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry to hear you're waiting too! I have had scares in the past that were nothing and afterwards I chalked it up to anxiety, something I've only experienced since cancer. I know the mind is so powerful so maybe it's in my head partly but I've never been so scared. I'm in New Zealand and tumour markers are not monitored in most breast cancer cases here so I'm going off pain alone. I hope you hear soon and everything is all clear
