Hi,

I hope you can help with some terminology?

My recent Contrast CT scans have shown sclerotic areas on my spine, which I have been told were not on the original scans (back in Nov onwards).  The consultant believes that this is due to the areas response in chemo/targeted therapy.  But I'm confused.  

What is sclerosis? 

why should this only start to show up due to "healing" e.g. cancer cells shrinking?

thank you
