Has anyone had mets discovered by blood chemistry tests? 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!
