Kelly, I am sorry to hear your day ended like this. Please don't panic because I had two spots that showed up in the rib area on one of my scans. My oncologist said bone mets show in two ways. Either as a white spot or like a scrape mark and mine didn't show either way. The next bone scan I had 6 weeks later( I have them every 6 weeks because I am in a trial) didn't show anything. Also my oncologist said if something shows and it doesn't make sense then its probably an error on the examiner. I hope this helps you and that you will not have to wait long to hear the results. I know it can be very scarey and will pray that its nothing. hugs, Sandy
