Metastisize Signs

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does blood work always determine if the cancer has metastisized ? I am having upper rib discomfort on the side of my radiation . It feels as if its been bruised but there is no bruising . My recent blood work was ok .
Thanks !🥰

Beachgirl2016 my ribs still hurt quite a bit 3.5 years after radiation. I had 33 treatments. I am going to PT to build strength in my upper body. I have learned more for other women than the docs...

Agree with comments from others. I had hip pain but bloodwork was fine. Onc ordered MRI and it turmed out to be bursitis and tendinitis. A little PT and now I’m fine. My onc was very clear: it was not a mistake to call and ask for a visit. Don’t hesitate to discuss any new or unusual pain that lasts 2 weeks or more.
