Re: I haven't heard of my situation too many times before
David,
I just wanted to point out that a bone scan can show areas they call suspicious but are not cancer. I'll post something from an article below, you probably already know this but I wanted to pass it on just in case. So hang in there, it may be nothing but an old injury acting up or arthritis.
OUOTE
Suspicious areas on your bone scan are called Hot Spots. Having hot spots does not necessarily mean you have cancer. They are a sign of active bone cells. So they can show up anywhere where there is repair to damaged bone going on. Hot spots can show up where you have old fractures or arthritis.
