Re: Need input!

A few questions I would ask is if the location and size has remained the same all this time. Did any other cts pick this up. Have all of them looked at by the same radiologist or rad onc. Really have someone study all those pictures and if your medical onc can coordinate the pictures in reference to what treatments you were on (or not on) when those pictures were taken. See if there were any changes when not in treatment.

What is your cancers hormone status? Erpr positive cancer likes the bones. If this is there, it may have changed and tamoxifen or something may greatly help.
