Thank you everyone for your messages and your good wishes.
It was a huge relief to have the good news about my bone scan. I was growing more anxious by the day while I was waiting. It did take some phone calls, to the right people, to finally find out the results. Apparently, they knew the results earlier but they had to wait to see my oncologist before they could ring me, in spite of the clear scan. Thank goodness she wasn't on holiday.
The reality is now that the shoulder pain is still as bad as it was and I can't restart any treatment for it until the x-ray results come through!
