Hi there, I have been recently diagnosed with bc and am still undergoing all the biopsies, CT Scan and Bone Scan - had this today, the rest on Thursday. I am guessing this will inform the surgeon...

The Ct scan and bone scan may not be all that bad. Yes there could be surprises pop up in them but mainly what they are looking for is good health in the liver etc so there won't be any hassles with using drugs on you and the bone scan is a record of how good or bad your bones are at the start of treatment. Years down the track they will take another bone scan to see if any medication has made you develop a break down in the bone quality. Treating cancer can be a bit of a juggling act between killing the cancer but not killing you. The scans are called 'staging' and they will be discussed on future treatment in a podcast between the surgeon, oncologist and radiologist. Then when they have a plan, they will tell you. Don't panic just yet. We're all here for you. <3
