Bone scan

Bone scan Hi - got appointment for bone scan Mon 23rd - am so worried, have almost sorted funeral in my head! Pain started when wrenched my mastectomy side about 5 weeks ago, pain hasn’t gone away. Initially thought it was a pulled muscle, but GP has suggested best to have a bone scan. Terrified I have bone mets now. Just wondered if anyone has had a bone scan that has turned out to be OK. Any help would be much appreciated, don’t know what I’d do without this wonderful forum!

Love Jean xx

If its any help think in last 3 yrs since diagnosis l have had 3 negative bone scans.The first was due to back ache-suffered on /off for yrs but gp said magic words-WITH YOUR HISTORY WE HAD BETTER DO… well l was dead and buried-went straight back to square one-jibbering wreck so know exactly what you are feeling.Each time therer is anxiety but suppose we have to learn this is now life and better they look at us sooner rather than leave something develop.Hope all goes well for you -come post again if you need chat. hugs sharonx

For Jean Hi jean - had a bone scan last Friday - and yes, funeral was already planned and even sorted out who my partner should marry - someone who can look after the children and be kind…

Bone scan was fine - I was so relieved. Funny enough any bone pain I had prior to scan is so much better now…

Fingers crossed for you - there are lots of examples of bone scans that came to nothing and we must appreciate at the end of the day, how well we are being monitored but prior to the results, it just doesn’t seem that way.

Post the results for us - and thinking of you.

Couldn’t agree more about the wonderful forum.

Thanks Heather Lou and Taffy for your kind, helpful replies. Am feeling a little more hopeful now and will be pleased when Monday comes around I think.

Just one question Heather Lou - as you only had your bone scan last Friday and know the results already, am I right in assuming they told you there and then?

Lots of love Jean xxx

Hi Jean

just read your post. I had Bone and CT scan on tuesday, I did not sleep on sunday and monday as I was planning my funeral and what to do with all my things. luckily i got the results back today which was confimed the all clear! my lovely bc nurse called with the results. don’t worry about the scans, it is just a procedure, it’s natural to worry, i know the waiting is frustrating, just keep positive and strong.

best wishes
