Hi @pammyt, here is the article that @auntieoakley referred to
- Bone Metastasis: Symptoms and Diagnosis https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/types/recur_metast/metastic/bone

According to the article, "the most common sites [of bone mets] are the ribs, spine, pelvis, and long bones in the arms and legs."

@leeann66, that's amazingly encouraging news that your bone lesions resolved with medication.

Pammy, how did the bone scan go? Are you currently on treatment for the existing bone mets?

The bone scan went well. I read the report yesterday and it appears the bone lesions are still throughout the bones but are stable compared to the scan in April. There is a mild uptake in the bone connecting to the pelvis, but not a significant change since the last scan. There is a lesion in the right tibia, but it is stable as seen in scans back into 2018. I don't understand why I have nerve pain in my leg with burning and numbness from the shin to my foot. I have been complaining about it for months but not getting answers, it must be caused by the stable lesion in my tibia as there are no fractures (shin splints). Otherwise, I will just continue on Letrozole and oxycodene and ibuprophen for pain. My labs look good, in fact much better since I am no longer doing chemo. I had a CT chest/abd/pelvis as well. That report looks good. There is a 0.8cm nodule on my adrenal gland. The report states it is likely an adenoma but should be monitored in follow up. I will meet with my oncologist tomorrow and ask questions, but pretty sure we will stay on the same course.
