CA15-3 marker test for bone mets also

Joy the bone scan can also be sensitibe to tiny bone fractures from stress areas , and can also flare from arthritic ares as well. Check out the CA15-3 as another indicator in addition to scans that are sketchy. Your Chiropractor can tell you the exact spots. I wouldn't think it wise to have him doing any kind of Manipulation on your back or pelvis until your DX is clear.
Ask more ???'s to your Onc to get satisfied answers. You can always get other opinions.
Hugs, Christine
