Mets to right axilla, rt femur, left ilium.  (PET showed low activity in liver...but CT portion did not back it up...so we don't know?)

Originally (at diagnosis): Mets to mediastinal nodes and left iliac bone. Chemo (6 rounds adriamycin-cytoxan-taxotere) cleaned out the nodes. Then, Tamoxifen kept  'em clean for a few months, but I had to go off the Tamoxifen due to a deep vein thrombosis (splenic vein). Primary tumor (right breast) and the bone met got smaller from chemo and stabilized on the Tamox too. Now, who knows what'll happen. They're trying to bust the clot with Lovenox injections which haven't been helping so far...but I still have to get 'em....  :-(

bone mets

My mom had mets to liver and bone 3 years ago, still clear of those, but was dx with brain mets 4 months ago.  Just finished 20 WBR treatments, so we will know in 2 months if it worked.

mets to sternum, pelvis, fifth rib and spine...also had 2 spots in left lung at time of original BC dx, but after 4 AC and 13 Taxol the lungs are clear...I take Tamoxifen and get Zometa infusions every 8 weeks for my bones...Jane P.
