schlerotic lesion?
In an xray for something else (possible neurodegenerative disc disease) they found a lesion on my humerus. My oncologist has scheduled an MRI for the 26th. I was wandering if there would be any harm in rescheduling it until after the first of the year. From past experience I have an idea that most of the docs won't be in until after the first. Obviously I want to know yesterday but the timing is not good. I know nothing about bone metastases but I wouldn't think a week would make a difference. Any ideas?
