Very vague Body Scan

I was diagnosed with MBC in '17. Had a DBX May 6th.

Oncologist ordered Bone Scan and PET-CT Scan before being treated with radiation.

I just received the Bone Scan Report. Not pleased. I had one done in 12/16/17. The New report states the following -

Impressions - Multiple new RIB FOCI, suggestive of trauma - concordant with recent PET/CT scan on 2/15/19 (Back in Jan 19 I had major damage to my ribs due to 2 two MRIs.

This is good says - Improved uptake at proximal Right Femur - (Last bone scan stated Metastatic Disease - Cancer in my bone)

My problem with this new Bone Scan is the fact the Doctor did not mention how much of the "Improved Uptake" is in my femur.

Plus what exactly is "Rib Foci"? is this cancer in my rib now? I was told by my Breast Surgeon and Oncologist that I have a tumor 1/2" in size behind my chest wall...
