Re: "Healed" rib fracture or...??
I am not sure. Healing also has a stronger uptake of glucose so it might glow just as cancer does. I would talk to your onc and have him take a look. I had a similar situation when I was a few years out but it was my lung. I had one of those coronary artery CT scans. That result was great but the scan got some of my right lung in the shot that showed "something" . I had those scans send to my rad onc and medical onc who said it was scarring from an pnemonia which I had had a bad one years be fore. Maybe theres someone who can look at it and say.
As for breaking it in the first place, did you have a bad cough, lift something too heavy, bump into something. Did someone hit into you. The weirdest things can happen. My mom broke a rib coughing and didnt know until weeks later when it hurt so bad we took her to the ER.
