I had another PET scan done on January 25, 2013 and a spot on my left rib cage 3 rib down from top lit up on the scan. It was not there on the previous scan from April 2012. They asked if I had some kind of rib injury since last April and I have not at all. The doctor said it could be a bone fracture and he wants to do check xrays. He said if it is a fracture it will show up on the xray, but if it is something else he is talking about a bone biopsy. I am scared to death.

I know I did not hurt my ribs by any accident or injury so I know that is not what it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have not visited in a while as things have been going pretty good. I had my 1 year anniversary from being off interferon September 2012 but I also know that is not a cure. I am just so very scarred….
