What are the symptoms to look for for pancreatic recurrence?

Looking for a little help.

I just and my first 6 month CT check-up scan and it shows:
"New sclerotic focus of the T4 vertebral body measuring 1.1 cm, suspicious for sclerotic metastasis"

The doctor has ordered an MRI (3-week wait) to see if they can get a definitive answer.

Has anyone seen pancreatic cancer go to your sine as the first indicator of spread? thank you.

@waltsocal , I haven't seen the spine as a first location for mets, but my scope is very limited.

I'm not sure what they can discern on CT, so getting an MRI is another good data point.

I've had a "highlight" on my abdominal MRI's showing "something" at T7, but they're fairly sure it's just a (benign) hemangioma. Not 100% though. It hasn't grown in 6 months, but neither have my other tumors, so we don't have other differentiating data to evaluate it on.

If my docs ever get around to doing anything surgical again, I'm hoping they'll biopsy it or remove it entirely.

Best wishes to you w/ yours -- surely hope it's benign!
