Re: Metastases to Rt 4th Rib

Adriana - To me this report says it could possibly be the VERY slight indication of bone met, BUT is so little and questionable with suv of 2.2 that it could just as well be any number of things... minor bruise or other minor situation that could be totally clear on your next scan. I get lots of pet scans and that's how I'd read it if it was my report. Of course I'm no expert. When you do connect with your onc. I hope you'll state how the lack of timely contact with you is very stressful for you and every person with cancer waiting for answers on scans. I don't know why doctors don't get this... or if they do, try harder to minimize this wait.
