[Sandy H]

I am in a trial so the protocal for me is scans every 6 weeks. In October my bone scan showed two spots on the ribs! My oncologist said it didn't make sense because my cat scan was clear. He said bone mets look two ways. They will show up as a white spot like a hole in the bone or a scape mark. Neither one of these showed that way. He said it didn't make sense and in that case he said usually its an error on the examiner's part. He said we would know in December 6 weeks later. He also told me if I was not in the trial he would scan me in two months for sure. In December the scans were clear. One of the secretaries in the oncology office had breast cancer 11 years ago and started having pain in her leg just below the back of the knee. It was a bone met (she has the same oncologist as me and he is the head one) and he told her its unusual to have a bone met in the part of the leg. But, they can occur anywhere. I hope my story helps that it maybe nothing but it is truly scary and I can understand how you are feeling. I will pray its nothing and it probably is but need to get it checked out. Please keep us updated. Sending you a big hug, from another Sandy.
