What can you see on xray?

Following up on my new backpain, MO sent me for thoracic spine xray. It showed my fracture and kytoplasty at T12 (my big guy). But otherwise said that no other lytic or osteoblastic lessions were identified in the thoracic spine. It also stated that it was compared to my last bone scan. I previously had (before chemo) mets to T12, T11, T8, T9, etc - does this mean they are gone? Or do xrays just not see them well?

I think that most of us would view the news as excellent. Significant osteolytic/blastic lesions would be quite visible IMO. If anything at all remains, it is too insignificant to worry about at this point. Enjoy the good news!
