    No bone mets!
    No bone mets! It looks like Bolivar hospital doesn't know how to read an xray. They finally sent the oncologist a copy of the xray, after Mom had a CT and a bone scan. The oncologist couldn't see any lytic lesions. He even had the radiologist at St. Johns look at it and he couldn't see any. I am so aggravated I may write Bolivar Hospital and very stern letter.

    Every time we have dealt with them they have screwed up. Mom has promised me that they won't go there anymore even tho they are closer than Springfield.

    Hoping for the same
    I know this is an outdated post, but I came upon it while Googling "lytic lesions".
    My mom, who is an 11 year StageIII breast cancer survivor went to the ER last week for severe shoulder pain and clavicle swelling. Though her blood and xrays were normal, the doctor worried about her previous history or BC and ordered a CT scan. The scan shows 3 lytic lesions that the radiologist considers suspicious for mets or myeloma or "other?". We are gutted!

    The onc has set up an ultrasound for tomorrow which is a prerequisite for the biopsy and also has a bone scan set up for next week. He gave no information or opinion today as he had not yet seen the actual CT images himself. He was going to look at them later today or tomorrow but basically said all he has to go on is what the report says until he sees otherwise. We are hoping that the small-town hospital radiologist is mistaken, but afraid to hold out too much hope for that.

    Were your mother's scan reports also suggesting lytic lesions or just the xray? My mom's xray was clear. This is so confusing :(

    I would appreciate any experiences regarding lytic lesions on CT scans while we wait for an "official" diagnosis...
