Just diagnosed with stage 1 2cm tumor left breast er+ pr+. Grade 3 node negative and vascular involvement not identified I am awaiting my oncotype score for further treatment

I have a pain in left shoulder since before diagnoses and still have it. I am worried that it might have spread to my bones. Should I request a bone scan?

    Hi Farra,

    I am of the opinion that you should ask for any and all tests that are important to you. I think many others in this community would agree your absolute best health advocate is yourself. If something doesn't feel right - ask to have it checked out by all means. You can't put a price tag on piece of mind.

    Sending you love from Pennsylvania...

    Dear Farra,

    Welcome to the community. We are sorry that your breast cancer diagnosis brought you here but so glad that you reached out to our members. Some oncologists order bone scans prior to treatment recommendations. You certainly can, as Mystic 18 suggests, request one. Keep us posted on what you learn and let us know if there is anything we can do to help you to navigate your way around the boards.
