Thirvers of Beauty

I had my 6 month CT scan on June 22

My cancer on chest lungs have shrunk

Doctor Said..The bone has become thicker in side...They believe it's because the cancer holes are getting smaller filling in...l Hope too

Worst...Would be the cancer has grown...Not sure why they can't not tell.

I will have to find history on this

Unless some one on site has had this said

I am happy my cancer has began to shrink..Very Happy😊 .

I have no bone pain...only lower back stiffness..which is caused by the Letrozole

Hugs to All

Great news! I’m baffled too about how they interpret these scans.

Shrinking is great news!! Not sure what to make of the bone thing, but I'm hoping it's about healing/filling in!

Wonderful news!! Not sure what the change in bones mean, and am curious what you find out. I have heard that as bones regenerate they scar. My understanding is that this is why bone lesions will always show in scans and they can’t tell other than change in number/size what’s going on. (?)

Doctor mention the holes are filling in ...They believe that they are healingWorst...To be is cancer is growen thicker...in the bone....Hope not

But.....They can not tell as yet ????

I have discomfort in my lower L3....told if gets worse make apot right away or if bones hurt ...they do not

So do not understand......

Now l start my 3 month visits

Will let you know in post

Forgive me- I keep trying to reply to you and then put my phone down and I think none of my attempts have gone through.

Trust yourself. The body does it’s own thing and can be a mystery for us to understand. Pain levels vary from person to person- if you want advice (this board is great for that) it may be better to see if you have any bloodwork results which can indicate your progress on your treatment journey. I’m unsure if there is a specific one for bone Mets, but the CA27-29 is one I track.

Again. Will be thinking of you. I recently had scans in neck and shoulder as I had an old injury and wanted physiotherapy. Guess what? Bone Mets there as well, but onc said he isn’t concerned because my bloodwork is stable. My impression based on that conversation is that my bone Mets are basically many places (skull, hip, lumbar, neck and shoulder) but the treatment protocol isn’t changing because of it. (xgeva, ibrance and. Faslodex)
