For anyone out there reading this thread who has not yet had diagnostics done, I would have X-rays read by a specialist, radiologist or oncologist, before I would ever have a biopsy to confirm what is possibly cancer on an X ray. It is a VERY painful procedure, and if OS is present, it spreads it. I have seen the immediate and long-term consequences of biopsy (didn't understand the long-term ones until I came here) and with what I know now, I would NEVER have a biopsy done.
