Bone marrow biopsy to check for mets

I noticed on your other thread, that you were under treatment for Mets, but on another thread you indicated that you are only on tamoxifen.
You said they had not confirmed the mets , but a PET scan really is pretty definitive with cancer. Just for reference I will tell you I have MBC so I can understand and empathize even though I am mostly kind of a “just the facts” writer, I do feel the weight of your situation more than I can say. It sounds like you don’t have a lot of faith in your doctors. That is a really hard place to be, and if you have metastatic cancer you should have all the answers you need to deal with that diagnosis and make informed decisions about your care.
Have you considered getting a second opinion? Is there a cancer center or university hospital near you?

It does sound confusing, sorry. My original "mets" confirmation was from the ER CT scan that they did. The Dr first said they found nothing. I went in because of front rib pain. Then when she found out I has a dbl mastectomy she wrote down "get checked for possible metesis" From that day forward they started treating me for mets without any PET's or biopsy. I have since tried letrozole, Ibrance and Verzenio and had severe allergic reactions with all of them Now only on Tamoxifen. Hope that explains it.
