I had a CT and Bone scan last week and got the results from the Oncologist yesterday. The CT was clear but the Bone Scan showed something in my Skull the Onc, said it was unlikely to be anything serious as it is unusual for Breast Cancer to go straight to the skull and not elsewhere first. I had some ordinary XRays on my skull yesterday and the Onc said I should wait to have Rads till the New Year as I am still getting 100 to 150mls fluid a day after 4 weeks. He wont give me results of Xrays till then and I need to know good news or bad. Has anyone else had any abnormalities in the skull?
I do have bone mets but it wasn’t a gradual process - when it was diagnosed 5 years ago it had spread everywhere including my skull. This showed as perfect black circles all over my skull area. After a year on bisphosphonates that particular area showed the greatest improvement and none of them are now visible on recent bone scans. I hope the news is that it is nothing to worry about but it is a bit mean to leave you in suspense in this way.
I saw my GP yesterday and he got the X Ray results for me, no evidence of any cancer in my skull,so this means all the scans were clear and I can have a great Christmas. I am having my Radiotherapy assessment next Thurs. 27th and will have Rads in January.
