Did you do a CT scan and a bone scan? Yes. Okay, so yeah, so there’s two ways to kind of assess the body for any metastatic disease or stage 4 disease. If it’s gone outside of the breast and the lymph node. The easiest way to do it is a PET scan because it’s kind of all in one. And it’s but some insurance companies won’t approve the pet scan. They want you to have a CT scan and a bone scan first. And if that has shows up something, something in the bones or something in the liver or the lungs, then typically you’ll get a PET scan. And if that’s PET positive, you will follow with the biopsy.
