Re: What would you do?

Hello Ladies, Thanks for the input. I was able to get the radiologists report today but didn't get a call back from my Dr. yet and of course it's Friday and a Holiday weekend at that, so I am not sure what my onc thinks of it. I know he was concerned when the radiologists phoned him with the results from the X-rays about the spot being in the 6th rib and my onc ordered a bone scan right away, He did say that the radiologists did rule out a fracture or break. I just find it funny or interesting that two sets of X-rays done over two months apart pick up this "spot" on the 6th rib and they said it is exactly where I am complaining of pain at and also the X-rays showed some arthritis in the lower back and then the bone scan done yesterday didn't show ANY of THAT!!!!! So wasn't sure if I should just demand a Pet/Ct and go with those results or if I should call this bone scan good and move on?
