Bone Scan

I have just finished radiotherapy treatment after a breast tumour removal which didn’t spread to my lymph nodes, the radiotherapist phone today for my phone check up and after going through everything she said that a bone scan had been requested.  Now worried why I need this.  I didn’t think at the time to ask her as I didn’t know the significance of it but when I looked it up in google it says it could be to check if the cancer has spread. Now I am very worried.  Has this happened to anyone else?

  • Thanks for your reply.  I was paranoid about the scan, thinking they were checking to see if the cancer had spread, but I had a review with my breast cancer nurse yesterday and asked her what it was for and she told me it is only to check my bone density, such a relief. Have you been through breast cancer yourself ? Thanks for your support.
