Bone scan questions

I have a pet scan, check up Monday. I am just a little anxious. I have such an odd way of thinking I have a hard time relating or being understood. I had a very disfunctional childhood so I am not normal like most people. Think Temple Grandin only with much less energy. I still havent had bones scanned for mets. I feel I need one. I did have bone scan at the outset for bone density which was normal. I am getting pet scans. I probably don't have mets. Every headache, every time I have vertigo, recently fell with vertigo. Leg bone pain, back pain, tender clavicles. I am overthinking things. Obviously I have more anxiety than cancer. I keep worrying if they could. not see it on the. mammography or ultrasound, but only through MRI with contrst, why is pet a good check up? They found 2 large lymph nodes from my 3d mamography with plate scans of the axillary. The only cancer shown on the mammography was the axillary nodes. I was sent for removal of 3cm nodes while they assumed it was Hodgkins. It was not, ck56 was found? The node was responive to estrogen, barely responsive to progestrin and negative on the last catagory. I work 40 hour weeks as RN. I am 56. I didnt do chemo, just bil mastectomy. My oncologist was VERY insistent on chemo before mastectomay. I refused. After surgery also insistent on chemo, I refused. My BMI is 37. My oncoscore was barely in the high range. I forget, 30 maybe. I was scared to death of chemo, my limited knowledge only working 9 years in hospice.

Thanks for your kind words. Are cancer blood test numbers only done in stage IV? I am stage 3 I think. The side they did the radical on hade invasive ductal. The other side was done as precaution. It had one ILC in situ and one ductal insitu. You could see a good blood supply to the one in situ on the MRI. The invasives ductal on the radical side was running its own major blood supply. Ive studied the MRI and wonder how it is on the MRI but not on the 3D mammography? My birads 2 mammography result came in the mail before the doctors call about needing a lymph node biopsy. In my mind, I keep wondering if the large lump was really lobular and not ductal. I guess it doesnt matter. My concern is I would like brain and bone mets ruled out.

You said you were stage 3? Are you cancer free now? Thanks for your reply. I did get an MRI of my brain due to headaches which are new for me. They found a spot above my eye. Don't kmow what it is, my MO ordered Multiple myeloma markers to rule that out. She said likely a hematoma that could have been there for years.
