I had a bone scan on Monday, July 9. Went in at 9 am for the injection, then had to wait for 3 hours while the radioactive stuff seeped into my marrow. I was afraid they were going to stick a foot long needle into my spine, but it was just a simple shot. The scan was easier than a CT or MRI - just lay in the table and a 2x2' box slowly moves over you. I almost fell asleep.
The results were just faxed to me: "Normal whole body bone scan without evidence for metastatic disease." Yay! No cancer in my bones (for now). Note that this does not scan lymph nodes or other soft tissue - that's what Thursday's CT scan is for.
