Sounds very frustrating, as hard to objectify the comments. Suggest this be handled via a second opinion. Additional studies may well give you the "100% proof" you seek.

In 2010 I was told I have vertical hemangioma of the spine. In 2018 breast cancer. In 2020 they are saying that I have metastatic BC to the spine. How do they know for sure? It could be the hemangioma?

I have metastatic breast cancer in spine. I'm on Ibrance and Letrozole. My WBC is low and my bs's are high. I was told the bs's are high from the Letrozole. Are they also high from the low white blood count?
