Thank you for your reply. I called at 9am this morning and spoke to someone very nice x

Hi, in the autumn I was diagnosed with bone mets 15 years after primary BC. Not ideal but it can happen. I was admitted as an emergency after an MRI given for worsening back pain showed imminent spinal compressions and stuff in other areas. They are right to tell you to be cautious but it does not mean you are crumbling or they are even sure you have BC mets yet. I did, and have since had radiotherapy, hormone and targeted treatment and this week had a pin put in my thigh. This is treatable and manageable for potentially a long time. I wish the best for you and do remember how much treatment is advancing year on year. 

Hi, I have bone mets (de novo - mets at time primary cancer diagnosed). For me it's my ribs, sternum, upper spine, pelvis. Just started hormone treatment this week (tamoxifen and zoladex). It's 'normal' to be scared, it's a big thing to take on board. I'm about 3 weeks out from being told I had bone mets, and I've calmed a lot. It does get easier, for me it was being told I was starting treatment, it wasn't just being left to grow unchecked. Because there are treatments to slow it down, to press pause. We aren't down and out yet! Getting on a good pain med regime was also a big help. Hope your appt gives you some answers, xx
