Every visit I go to the oncologist she does blood chemistry tests! Will they show mets are why is it necessary to have these tests? I had breast cancer 12 years ago and I am just waiting for them to discover mets. How are mets found? I have had every test imaginable including a pet scan and they have not found what is causing my problem. I have weight loss and having problems with throwing up bile in the morning. I also had gall bladder operation about 1 1/2 years ago. I am getting very discouraged and am just waiting for the other shoe to fall. By the way my cancer was found in a mamm and I had a lumpectomy and 31 lymph nodes taken out and no cancer was found in the nodes. When I had my lumpectomy I was told I did not need chemo as my tumor was only 1.2 cm. and no cancer was in any of the nodes. I had 28 radiation treatments. Thanks for listening! Quote
