Scanxiety - bone mineral density
Tl;Dr - it’s another 2 am freakout. I'm having a panic into the void. I'm 3 years on from my diagnosis of early breast cancer (hormone positive idc). I went for my routine bone mineral density...
Hi @Kahm, sorry you are so stress and anxious.
Bone Density Scans will not show up any cancer at all. It is not a test for cancer in the bones. The bone density scan is a routine scan usually done when you are on hormone suppression eg things lies AIs.
There is no point trying to interpret the image you see. You're not trained to do that. The white spot is probably calcium in the bone.
Keep busy, do things you like to do.
