are these tests routine?
Hi all. I'm enjoying following the ups and downs, triumphs and disappointments members are sharing on the network. It definitely makes me feel less alone, and is helping me become more knowledgeable ...

Hi Heather
Like the others have said these are done for a baseline for later comparison. I had a CT chest and abdo, Bone scan and Bone densitometry scan before I started chemo. My oncologist said it's like opening a can of worms cos they report on every little cyst smudge and blob they see most are usually nothing but you have to be sure. Quite normal. I finished all my treatment last Friday (radiation) and see the oncologist on March 3rd when I'll be put on tamoxifen. Also hoping to get the ok to go back to work!
Good luck
Sarah
