So scared- expansile mixed lytic sclerotic density Found on ct scan

I went into the er for kidney pain, and we did find a stone. But in that scan they found “2 areas expansile mixed lytic sclerotic density in the right anterior 6th and 7th ribs. These are new from 2023. Suspicious for pathologic lesions.” And I’m scared. So scared. I got home from the er Thursday night and called oncology. I’m 7 years basically out from stage 2b triple negative grade 3, no nodes involved….and you guessed it…the rubs in question are right behind where my tumor was 😮‍💨😕😅 I’m trying not to panic. But I want info and truth. Does anyone have any info or stories or just anything. I’m 36. I’m a mom of a five year old. I dont want to do this again 😭

    @turbokitten88 This is a super scary time when you're going through new diagnostic procedures. Many of us here have been through it. I hope it's nothing, but if it is something, you've caught it relatively early and people can live a very long time with just bone metastases.

  • @tougholdcrow Im trying so hard not to spiral. I know so many have been here before. I plan on leaning back into this community like i did previously. Can i ask where your bone mets was located and what treatment looked like for you? Thank you for commenting. so much.

    My lesions are scattered in my lower spine and iliac crest. I did have a rib fracture at one point that turned out to be a badly healed traumatic injury. I'm doing well, all things considered. Hang in there!
