Amy_41 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT There a  lot of radiation in a bone scan its just to find out if he had prostate bone Matisses once it found it there no need for an other bone scan when I had mine it found it in my ribs and my lower back. it gone now mainly due to my naturopath suggesting I go on to a three month cause of Zeolite I was other stuff but a year later a scan found it gone I feel there should be only one bone scan as any more  will just give you more radiation.    jcr65566 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT Hello all!  I have found this site to be so very helpful.  I have a new question.  My husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and a 'hot spot' was found on his arm last year as the results of his bone scan.  My question, shouldnt' they soon conduct a new bone scan to continue to monitor?  How often are they completed?thanks for your help and as always, we appreciate any and all prayers.
