Hi @Lisa50, I can advise you that the CT scan came up with the results that we already knew - I have secondary bc in the bones.
The bony mets that showed up on the CT scan were in those areas we already know exist. A PET scan was recommended as there was a "lesion" in my lung after a lung infection that had me admitted to hospital 12 months ago. Lesion size & shape unchanged in that time.
I was advised that a PET scan would show up any "hot spots" (bit like a bone scan but more comprehensive as it shows organs etc).
The PET scan did not show us anything new/positive that was not shown on the CT scan that we already know about.
However, in hindsight it is one thing that has been ticked off the list of scans for comparison and measure.
All the best Lisa with your upcoming appointments.
