14 year survivor - bad PET scan rsults
Unfortunately, results from PET scan aren't good. There are multiple spots on my bones...mets. I am soooo sad. Dr wants to do a bone biopsy to see if this is the original BC, or another type. He said it is very rare for it to come back like this after almost 15 years, but obviously it can happen. The "good" news, is that…
