Am anxiously waiting for the results of my bone scan.
Would like to hear what some of the symptoms are for bone metastasis.
Hi
Sorry to hear you are worried about bone mets but it is good that you are getting them checked out.
Bone mets don’t always have symptoms, it will depend where they are. Sometimes you can get a persistent pain or ache in an area where they are or, if you are like me, absolutely no symptoms at all. Sorry I can’t be more specific or give a definitive answer. Good luck with the results.

Hi Sessbo
So sorry to hear you are in the ‘scanxiety’ net of waiting for results. It’s horrible isnt it? I was in the same place nearly 2 years ago but I did have one symptom … a very painful back and side ache which I thought was a cracked rib but turned out the be a secondary tumour that had broken a vertebra!
But that was my only symptom and turned out I had bone Mets just about everywhere. Fast forward 2 years and I now have Denosumab (bone strengthening) injections every 4 weeks and some ongoing chemo (mainly for my liver mets). I can do long walks, exercise class, carry shopping.even Hoover. So good luck, hopefully it’s good news but if not there are lots of lovely people to share advice and emotions here. Let us know your results.

Hi Sessbo, scanxiety is the pits. You might want to tap into the other bone mets thread which contains a huge amount of info. Hoping for good results for you. ??x
