BONE SCAN...!!!

Hi Elisha

I had a bone scan and CT scan done in the delay gap before my mastectomy. At the time it was a means of thinking I was being proactive even though there was a delay. Having read the other ladies comments, I'm thinking maybe it was a big advantage having all done before my body experienced any trauma. It also provided reassuring results as I went into surgery.

The bone scan involved me going for an injection of radioactive stuff mid morning - not too bad, similar to any blood collection, etc. and then I went off to work for 3 hours. When I returned I didn't even have to take clothes, etc off - just my pandora bracelet!! With the great choice of music in the background, I actually has a little snooze while it was happening!!

The "wet the pants" feeeling with the CT scan did provide a giggle. Fortunately the radialogist on the day warned me and although i wondered how that could be when she said it - that's exactly what it felt like!!

Good luck with it all and hopefully it will be as positive as I had!!
