    Here's to hoping the shot will relieve some of the pain for you Astrid!

    Today I hurt, but I am a house cleaner. Got an email from my doctor that they are going to run some other tests, more blood work and a fecal (?) test. Sounds like good times, haha.

    I am also experiencing some lower back pain but have been brushing it off since I recently started a new exercise routine. They did do a complete body "scan" checking the bones once my treatment was completed and I was in pain back then as well. They found nothing. The Letrozol treatment was the cause of my "bone pain" then so now I am telling myself to wait until I am in total pain and not freak out. However not sure what the pain is suppose to feel like really. That is hard. How and when are you suppose to be alarmed? A friend of mine passed away recently in another type of cancer and it has made me freak out about everything once again...:( Keep us posted how it goes!

    Kattis, it's good seeing you on here (but am sorry you're on here). You may not remember me, but we were on the same thread for those who had mastectomies in Dec. 2016. I've since changed my profile pic.

    I too have had some concerns. I've had traveling bone discomfort for at least 6 months. It's mostly in my ribs and a spot to the right of my spine, which sometimes burns. I also get strange sensations in different bones/shoulder in my left arm and had a couple of quick, shooting pains in my upper right femur. I see the oncologist next week and will bring it to her attention then. I've not said anything to her sooner because when I brought up a bruised feeling in my sternum about a year ago she brushed it off because of my early stage/diagnosis. This time I'll request (demand if needed) a bone scan. That's something I never had, and I know some women get them automatically after a BC diagnosis.
