What Causes Intense Shoulder Pain While Treating Breast Cancer?
My wife was treated for breast cancer last year. She has now experienced a sever pain in her shoulder blade. She had a PET scan last week and the doctor s office called to set an appointment for tomorrow. My wife has read something on line that indicates that it is likely that the cancer has spread to her bones. What can I expect when we see the doctor tomorrow?

Hi,
She might advise bone scan, MRI of the shoulder joint to rule out bone metastases related pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
