Henny,
God bless you! I really appreciate your input about the difference between all the tests.

I am trying to go over all tests results again and see what they really say. I only wish the same person reviewed all bone scans. Not so.

My onc is going on a maternity leave soon. She suggested a PET/CT in Sept. I am tired of second guessing everything. That is the route I will probably go with. But I am very interested in the new type of bone scan you mentioned. I will persue this more. Being at a large teaching hospital they should have some insight in this.

Your signature is very similar to mine. I am curious about you taking Zometa for 3 years. That was never even discussed with me. Do you know your tumor markers?

Thanks sis, your a doll.
