I can see that you have posted in another area with a bit more information about your situation. I am sorry to hear about what is happening and I can appreciate that this is a worrying time for you.
The PET scan will give more detailed information and hopefully where the cancer is so I am afraid that it is now a matter of waiting for it to be done and getting the results. I realise that this is not easy to do.
There is some evidence that breast cancer that come backs after initial treatment can have a change in the hormone status. In studies that looked at the hormone receptor status of breast cancer that has come back it was found that some had a change in the oestrogen status. Now this might not be the case in your situation and I am not sure if this is something that your specialist breast team are thinking about. And if this is going to change how you are going to be treated. The U.S organisation Breast Cancer.org have more information about this research, you can see it by clicking here

Thank you for replying, new to this site. The CT scan shows nothing of any concern, blood test ok. Since the aspiration though the right chest muscles are sore...was ok prior to it!
