Welcome, I'm fairly new here (diagnosed in May, primary Breast Cancer in 2005). You're lucky you're getting a bone scan so early, I've been complaining of pains in my ribs, arm, shoulder, back etc since August and had all sorts of Physiotherapy and exercise advice, even had a mammogram before eventually cancer was found elsewhere purely accidentally. The bone scan then helpfully showed black spots everywhere I'd been having pains. Do ask for a print out of your scan as it's quite cool to have a picture of your own skeleton (maybe that's just me...). I also had a CT scan booked at the same time as a biopsy had shown that there were metastatic cancer cells already present - so I already knew that. I was really surprised when I found out I wasn't to have more chemo though (just more Tamoxifen & bone strengthening stuff), sort of getting used to it now. Hope your scan is conclusive one way or the other - it's horrible having unexplained pain. I'll also recommend the "avoid Google" advice as I found to my cost that it was quite scary.
