My first cave was stage 2 and I had a lumpectomy, CMF chemo and radiation followed by 10 years of Anastrozole. My recent Cancer was stage 1 b grade 2.

Scared about bone spots after breast cancer - could it be mets?

Very scared. Had invasive lobular breast cancer last year. Had double mastectomy and radiation and am now on tamoxifen. But after a recent bout of pneumonia I had a ct scan and they found some suspicious spots on my bones of my sternum, right arm and spine. I have to have a nuclear bone test next week and I am terrified. I am hoping it has something to do with my osteoporosis medication but I can’t really seem to find anything that this could be other than metastasis. Any advice ?
