HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Need help! Kind of in a panic about bone scan results

Last summer I started having pain in left hip. Onc sent me that day for x-ray and bone scan. I was able to watch the entire bone scan (I did this also with initial base line bone scan after dx, so I did have a frame of reference).. Left lower leg lit up (broken leg 10 years ago), right elbow lit up (surgery one year previous), and left hip ended up showing arthritis! X-ray also showed bone spur inside hip socket. So I obviously have had and do have problems---just not mets!

Try not to worry, lots of things show up that are not cancer related.
