Hot Spots on bone scans

sally9876

Hi, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in April 2014. Completed chemo in August 2014, surgery in September 2014 and radiation in December 2014. I got a pathological complete response in my breast cancer. I'm 2 years out and just had a bone scan which has revealed a hot spot in my humerus (bone in upper arm) which is highly suspicious of metastatic cancer:(. I will be having an exray to have a close look at this spot and ct scan to determine if there are other spots in my body. I'm terrified and wanted some feedback. Are bone scans always accurate in determining breast cancer metastasis

HI Sally, I don't know the answer to your question but I do understand radiologists don't normally write that without cause for concern. I know others will be along soon to give you some input and advice. Hoping your next scans come out clear. Wishing you well.
