Thank you so much Becky- am really worried about this one. The radiologist from the bone scan suggested maybe rescanning in 3 months, but my onc. didn't say anything about that. What would be a good scan to ask for? Another bone scan? If the area is still there, what would be a definitive test? I do know that the spot was not there in June, so it is relatively new. Also (one more thing), do you think that a 20.3 marker is a little on the high side? I know that it is within normal range, I was just thinking that it would be a little lower (I was still on radiation when I got it done however). Why do the docs make us have to fight so much just to be sure? I could see the resistance if there wasn't a cancer dx. It just seems like common sense to me.
Thank you again,
Love,
Kelly
