Dear joanne213,
I think your comment is mixed in with Odette's question on Metastasis BC.
Have you been given a Stage of BC ?
You may be told that after your surgery.
Afraser has given good advice above.
Try not to panic before you know the whole story.
Even if you have it in the Lymph nodes, that is not Stage 4.
That is only after it has spread to other organs.
The pain you have described, could also come from stress. Which is very understandable.
The tests you have been ordered are fairly routine.
To determine if it has or has not spread.
Most of us have had these extra screening tests.
I hope that you get good news, ie no spread.
All the best.
