sacral biopsy

18month post chemo treated invasive breast cancer
.Had a clear PETSCAN December. Labs all good. Did not feel well and requested PETSCAN
PETSCAN and MRI confimed scaral mass which was biopsied and dx's with potential finding "metastatic beast cancer" Awaiting affirmative diagnosis Tuesday.

Radiologist stated cancers cells/mass presence on top of sacrum and not in sacrum from video CT SCAN biopsy . Is that a beter prognosis for me? When cancer cells travel to your bone is the outlook poor and what are the courses of tx,

Bone Mets from breast cancer is one of the more manageable of any form of metastises. If this is a tumor completely outside the bone structure I would think it could be treated much the same as another tumor within the breast tissue itself in that it could be removed along with additional systemic treatment. Best wishes for an easy solution ....
