In response to:

Denise, you say, "I wonder if they think I have sternum cancer" - why not ask directly what they think? I'd guess your GP is sending you back to the oncologist because this could be a treatment-related issue - scar tissue from the operation, something along that line. It would be incredibly rare to develop a metastasis from DCIS; and that's what bone cancer would almost certainly be. So please try not to worry; I'm sure among them, your doctors will get to the bottom of this issue soon, and provide you some relief. Good luck - PJH
