That's ok,you can moan as much as you like on this site.We are all here to support each other and share information.I've had breast cancer twice(7yrs apart)so I've lost confidence in my health and worry about every ache and pain. When I had my oncology checkup the other week,I asked my oncologist if I should be having routine blood tests and scans.He said no because that tends to make people more anxious.They would only investigate if you had a pain.Well I'm still not quite sure how I feel about that response.If I was to get secondary cancer then I'd want to pick it up immediately and be treated before it spread further..We have yearly mammograms so why not chest xrays,bloods,etc. I begin to wonder if it's a money issue or perhaps my doctor is right-why be anxious over nothing. It must be hard living so far away from treatment centre.That would add to the stress I imagine.I hope your bone scan is clear and your chemo isn't too hard on you.
