I had a nuclear bone scan yesterday and after it finished the technician wanted to take “extra pictures” of my legs.

Has anyone had a similar experience?  I am fearing the worst …

  • Morning - I had one of these amongst other scans.  I had to have an extra ultra sound as it picked up something suspicious on my liver - luckily it was only little cysts which they suspected I’d been born with.

    I know it’s easier said than done but keep busy and try not to worry - I do hope everything is ok for you x

  • Thank you. Glad yours was OK.

    I was just very surprised to have a second scan on a specific part of me. I think they must have seen something.

  • All tests are worrying- you think you get to the end and then another hurdle gets in the way !

    Fingrs crossed everything is ok - it’s better to get it double checked than it be ignored x

    • I had nuclear scan on 25 Oct and after the 35 mins Radiologist said “nearly finished, just got to go over left side of your chest again!”.  You can imagine my panic BUT after RT, my rib area was showing lumps so he wanted to double check. Got the written report that said “no suspicious activity”. Grateful that they double check everything..clever b’s!!
