Not what I hoped for ...

I had my CT scan on Friday but didn't get the results until today.  I've been a little freaked out because I've had this long "honeymoon" period where there's been no evidence of disease for a little over a year.  It's been so great to feel as normal as someone in my situation can feel!  Having the scan but having to wait the weekend to get results is excruciating. The other thing is having those results released to my chart before I have a chance to talk to my doctor to have her explain the findings ... also excruciating.  I may be reading more into it than it is.  The way I see it is, any change isn't good because it means cells are mutating and growing again.  I see my doctor on Wednesday at our group, and again on Friday.

MUSCULOSKELETAL:

• Slightly worsening and sclerosis of the left fourth rib, series 3 image 26. 
• Slightly worsening sclerosis and new irregularity of the left second rib. May be due to fracture or growing metastasis. Recommend attention on follow-up.

I knew about one of those spots, but a second spot is news to me.  I have early osteoporosis, reduced bone mass makes bones weaker and more susceptible to breaks and cancer spread.  The bones are a very typical place for breast cancer to spread. I hope I feel a little better after talking to the doc, I hope I'm blowing this way out of proportion.  I'll keep you posted.
