mmmmm should i worry

I have had my check up scans last week amd all good I was told over the phone from the doctor. Improvement noted in the bones she said . Yah I thinks yipee so i read my reorts ( a habit I stopped before as its awfull) but since this one sounded good I thought lets check out which bones are doing well. Well imagine my suprise when on the report they talk about a spot on my rib which has never been mentioned to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!. it was apparently there before on past scans but not reported. My doctor did mot mention it and said all was good but the report said mild activity so now I am worried about it. I am trying so hard to be positive about only having bone mets and i have heard many ladies live well for many many years like this and I so hope to be one of these . 

So ladies should i question my report? or go with the doctors its all good. Any ideas

    Hi Klea, great news. Isn't all that waiting terrible? My mind can blow anything out of proportion, I think we all have that problem to some degree. Onwards and upwards for you, take care,

    Hi Hazel saw onc today and all ok with the rib apparently was always there but not reported some minor activity has been reported but onc says that she is keeping a close look on bloods  for any movement. She assures me all is ok

    Thanks for the support

    Hi Tonya,

     

    Finally saw onc today and got scans cleared up . Rib was there before but not of concern so not reported. Apparently its not a structural bone so not as significant??? Anyway onc is confident all is ok and assured me she is keeping a close eye on my blood tests for any indication of activity. So off I go again into the world hopinhg all stays stable 

     

    Thanks me

    Thanks Tonya

     

     

    I did try today to make an appointment to see the oncologist but unfortunatley she has gone on holidays. I have to wait for two weeks so will try to be calm and think logically surely she would have said something if anything was amiss. I will take these scans and the previous ones in and ask her to explain the findings to me i do tend to be anxious about it all and I hope its just something simple in th einterpretation that i have gotten confused with,

    I would be a bit concerned and I would need to have it cleared up, no harm in making an appointment and putting your mind at rest, all the best,

    Sorry to hear you've had confusion over your scan reports.I would find that very upsetting if it was me.Could you make an appointment to see your doctor and take all your recent scans /reports and have them looked at and explained to you?I think I'd be stewing until I got it sorted out-but that's me.
