Bone scan
I had the lumpecomy and lymph node removal, and many nodes were positive for BC. As a result, I was given CT scan, MRI's and the bone scan to see if/where the cancer had spread. It revealed mets to bone. I know how scarey it is to have to have so many tests, but the more they can find out about your disease, the better able they are to plan and execute the best course of treatment. I hope your bone scan went well. Hugs to you. Gracie.

My husband got to sit in the room with me too, which made it nice. The having to come back after 3 hours was the only crappy part. The test is easy. They also gave me a CD of the test so I have it. You see the outline like a skeleton of your whole body. Be sure and get one. Good luck.

just curious
Did all of you have to have a bone scan due to having breast cancer? I was just dx with insti ductal carcinoma yesterday and I haven't got to speak with an oncologist yet to know what the plan will be. Will I have to have a bone scan to? Here I have been freakin about having breast cancer and not even giving a thought to having it elsewhere.

Yes Terri, my onco ordered
Yes Terri, my onco ordered the bone scan for me, as well as other tests, just because I had bc. I think they vary in their treatments.
