Okay, now I am freaking out! I went to see a new podiatrist about an injury that I suffered six years ago LONG before I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. This doc ordered a bone scan of my left foot because he suspects a Liz Frank injury. I have also had some problems with my thigh after I took a nasty fall from my bike (same leg) so my GP amended the orders to include everything in the left leg/foot. Well, today, I called just to make sure that everything was ordered correctly and the guy in nuclear medicine says that because I had a history of cancer, I have to have a complete bone scan. Is there something that I am missing? No one ordered it. My oncs office didn't even know about it and says that the bone scan people will normally do this with ANYONE who has had a history of cancer. Has anyone ever heard of this? Why when I thought I was going in for a leg/foot injury do I have to be reminded of my rectal cancer? Here I was feeling great all day and went back to the chemo room to take treats and cheer people up and now this! Does this seem normal to anyone? I REALLY don't want to have to go through the entire weekend freaking out about this!
