in Esophageal Cancer #1
Just received a phone call on my bone scan done this morning, apparently they feel that the cancer may be gone in to several of my vertebrae, which really shocked me since my scan in Feb showed only slight deterioration in one disc, probably caused by arthritis. A MRI of 2 weeks ago only showed the same spot on one vertebra same as the Feb bone scan.

Is it possible for the cancer to spread to several vertebras in that short of time?

Has anyone had false bone scans?

    Possible treatment
    Thank you William for a very truthful reply. Can you tell me the range of treament for bone mets, we are looking at T1 involvment and a couple of lower T20 range. Has radiation been successful to any degree?
