I had breast cancer and mastectomy 18 months ago now i have pain in my lower back and have been sent for nuclear bone scan tomorrow.

Any one else been through this, any advice.

  • Have you had a bone scan before? I had one following my mastectomy. The process is very simple, injection with radioactive’dye’, wait awhile....then a scan which does take a little time...There was a bit of chill out music in the background so I just lay there....

    Results took a week or so....

    Good luck!

  • Yeah I had one.

    It is fairly straightforward, much better than a ct or mri scan.

    Oh, this is timely for me. I have my first bone scan tomorrow. 

    It was a standard scheduled outpatient appointment,  & I meant to find out about it nearer the time. Thought I had plenty of time to get around to it. 

    Now here I am, still an inpatient & it's tomorrow.  Lucky it's the same hospital!
