How many of you have had a bone scan?

Hi Chelee
I have had two bone scans. My first was routine following diagnosis and my second was earlier this year around the time of my recurrence. On my second one they thought I had a suspicious area on my skull. Eventually it was seen by a specialist onc radiologist and was found to be related to cysts.
I have since asked my onc when I will have my next one. His reply was since I am having 6 monthly CT scans of chest, abdo and pelvis with bone windows the only if something turns up on this would he do a bone scan

I have had about 6 since being diagnosed....probably more so because of my fractured rib, but mostly they bone scans show degenerative joint disease and arthritic changes.....a nice way of saying, damn, she is getting old!
Hope this helps!
