Hi LS,
For me they ordered Dexa because of side effects of AI's, Arimidex etc is bone loss. These drugs are for ER+, so this may be something you can cross off your list.
I may have said that these routine scans may help detecting mets. Sorry if this is wrong.
I think Dexa looks at one paticular point, right hip bone, which leaves a lot of real estate uncovered. I would think if you had an abnormality at that particular point it would show up, but doesn't give you a complete picture. BB
