Bone Scan Delay

EDITED !

Not for this but when I had my sentinel node biopsy , they just used blue dye , which is the alternative to the isotopes This was 6 months ago and I was told the shortage was a regional thing . It was Cheshire where I had my treatment 

Hello klf, I had the blue die inserted but that was the day I had the operation and I'm in Devon x

Also, I was diagnosed with BC in January and had a mastectomy in March, so all my treatment was quick compared to you. Hope you hear something soon x

I just had my bone scan and thought it was scheduled really quickly. The breast nurse said it was due to a shortage of the radioactive dye for the scan. The next time it would be available was March/April next year!!! I am in Scotland so hopefully different in you're down south? Really hope they are able to provide an alternative in the meantime so patients don't have to wait :( :(

Had a phone call this morning and bone scan scheduled for Monday, should be pleased but it has cranked up the anxiety!

Great it's just next week! I've got my ct on Tuesday and I'm a nervous wreck. Trying to keep positive as my bone scan was clear but really difficult  just want it to be clear and finally start my treatment and just trying see the light at the end of this nightmare! Hope your scan goes well! Good luck!

Thank you, I think it is the last scan the surgeon requested so I might have my treatment plan on Thursday next week if all the results are in.

The CT scan itself is a piece of cake, really quick compared to the MRI scans I have had so try not to worry.  My CT wasn't clear so had to have a MRI on my spine and liver.

Fingers crossed for both of us that our results are positive x
