Hello I think you have posed a very good question.

I can tell you about my experience. I was diagnosed last fall and requested a PET scan. I had no symptoms of any bone pain. The results of the PET scan revealed that I had probable bone metastases. A bone biopsy was ordered and confirmed the findings of the PET scan. Needless to say that PET scan enabled me to have the correct diagnosis.

I would echo the advice given from Lisa. When in doubt check it out!

Take care,
