CT Scan and NM Bone Scan

[Blair77]

Mike had his CT scan last Monday and we have not been given a call with the results. I called yesterday and today and was told the doctor was on vacation. I can see the NM bone scan through his my chart, which looks pretty bad, but he's never had one before so I can;t really be sure if its better or worse. I can't access the CT scan. Waiting around is the worst part!!

I've found they will not release results until the doctor has read them if the results are out of range. Sounds like you guys already know if the cancer is metastatic? Or would that be new?

We're waiting right now for results of my husband's first bone scan. We joke about Christmas trees. It's likely to be bad, but what can you do?

Yes, we already know it’s metastatic. We are waiting to see if current drug is failing.

Well, much luck and good thoughts coming your way! I think reading a bone scan is like looking at a baby ultrasound was in the old days. You can see *something* but really you have to just wait for the doctor to tell you what you're looking at. Boy? Girl? Cancer? Shadows and blobs.
