I took your advice & called for results. Here's what happened.
1st I called CDI, the place that did the scan. Yes, they had the report & had already sent it to the doc's office. No, they could not give a copy directly to me - against their policy.
Then I called the onc. office. The nurse called me back & had the report, she was able to tell me that the conclusion was that there were no new findings (THANK GOD!) & that other bone mets looked about the same as previous scan. But she would not read me the details, or fax me a copy, saying that my doc hadn't seen it yet & that he would have to review it first. He's not back until Monday, & that's when I see him. I suppose I could have made a big stink & demanded the report, but was just so relieved to learn there wasn't anything worse on the report I let it go at that. Still I'm hoping I can trust the nurse that she told me everything. Thanks again for listening. Your support means so much.
