Hi Coolbreeze,

I had a spot show on a bone scan last year, this was followed by an inconclusive MRI and Pet/ct was negative. It was too small to biopsy so we waited two months to redo the scans and it had disappeared!!!
I have no idea what it was but was just so relieved it was'nt cancer, I did have a painful bout of sciaticia after this so not sure if that had something to do with it.
I also had a spot show on my lungs on a x ray but the ct showed it was just scarring, so just wanted you to know sometimes there really is another explanation and it's not always cancer.
My best wishes to you and please keep us posted
