 I called Dr. Hahn today and found out the results of the bone scan I had last Monday. He said I had to go get an x-ray of my right hip. That was the only area he was concerned about from the scan.

I went to American Radiology and had the x-rays done. Afterwards, I took the films over to Dr. Hahn. The bone scan said that I have a high probability of metastasis in the right hip however; the x-rays do not show anything. My doctor said that means it is not bad enough to show up on the x-rays so we are ahead of the game. I will see him this Wednesday for an official visit and exam. I am sure I will find out more then. I do not know if they can radiate the area or just keep me on chemo.

The area that it is in is like a ball joint. It is in an area called the ACETABULUM. That is the joint area where the ball of the femur (thigh bone) fits in. See pictures below.

I think I like the x-ray better than the bone scan....

I like the wagon! You're going to have to show it to me in person one day very soon.
