hi elisha,
i see you are only 25, and it is too young to have to deal with BC, but i know it happens. you probably have other things going on in your life atm : job, family, relationships, travel. to have a diagnosis of BC would be hard to fathom. big SHOCK. BUT there is hope, and i do hope you will be ok. it is a lot to deal with. day by day is best advice, and get information to help you make informed choices on your treatments. it is not easy to TRUST someone to operate on you and then have treatments, but research on BEST PRACTICE helps to have some confidence in others advice. you will be monitored also.
i did not have a bone scan with my treatments so cannot help you there.
have you made any contact with other young BC people, or a breast care nurse too who might help you. it is ok to be SCARED of it all.
my advice is to get all information and try and make sense of it all, to work out the best way forward. there are online sites for information too,
good luck .. kathy.

Yes I've had a bone scan... lol sooo many tests hard to remember what was what lol... know what u mean about piece of mind...
here is a link http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003833.htm might help answer all ur questions. I do remember this test well and it can sting when they inject you but only for a short amount of time (like 30seconds or something)
from this test I found out I also have artheritis... lol... breast cancer & artheritis lol b4 I'm 30... lol...
I think u should definately do the test, for ur piece of mind :)
