I am getting crazy!!!. For nearly three months I have been experienced a slightly pain on my right hip that sometimes it reachs my leg. It is not related to movement or anything that I could believe would be its cause. Sometimes is there, specially in the morning and in the afternoos and sometimes disapears. Well, I called the breast cancer nurse and I have a bone scan yesterday. I was very alarmed during the whole test as I think they were taking more pictures and in different postures than before. When I asked them about the results, of course, they didn’t tell me. I called the breast cancer nurse who told me they wouldn’t have the results till the end of the week but I certainly know they have them early and if she doesn’t call me to tell me everything is clear and I have to wait till my next appoinment next week is cause probably I got mets.
Is there anyone who is in a similar situation?
What kind of bone scan did you have? I’ve been having pain in my left hip and had an xray which showed a ‘lucent area’ so yesterday I had a nuclear bone scan, when a radiative substance was injected into my vein and 3 hours later I had a full body bone scan during which I just had to lay still in one position, so I am confused that you had to move about. I got the result straightaway, which for me was good news that there are no bone mets.
A couple of weeks ago I had a DEXA bone scan which shows whether there’s any osteoporosis (I’m 39 and seem to have been thrown into a premature menopause. I have to wait 3 weeks for the results of this one.
I know how awful it is waiting for results; can you get an earlier appointment at all?
Yes, I think I have the same bone scan as you. They injected me somenthing and a couple of hours later I had the scan. I laid on a bed and the scanned my full body but also they take more pictures of my ribs and pelvis and this was seatting down. It really pissed me off they don’t tell the results because however I reacted I think I have the right to know on the spot if that is possible. Can I ask in which hospital are you being treated.
I had a bone scan late last year as I keep getting a random pain in my ribs and elbow. Anyway long story short it came back clear but I did have to have more than one lot taken of my pelvis due to my bladder being full and my ribs on one side due to my posture. I dont know if this helps or not.
Good luck with the results. Its always the waiting that seems the worst. Currently waiting for chest x ray results for a cough I’ve had for 3 months…HO HUM. S x
