ernrol Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Two weeks ago I had a spot show up on my hip from a PET scan. Today I met with my oncologist. He believes that the spot that showed on my PET scan could be from my running. It may be a small stress fracture. He said that it would be very unusual for cancer to show up in that area with nothing anywhere else. At the end of March we will redo the PET scan. There will be no more running till after the PET scan. He told me to take Advil the week before to eliminate any inflammation. So at least there is no positive indication that it is cancer at this time. I now have to find something else to do for my aerobic exercise, maybe elliptical or rowing machine. Thanks for all the prayers. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaze100 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Great news Ernie! When I was dx'd my bone scan showed something in my knees, but docs dismissed it as inflammation. So this could be similar for you too, especially since you are so active. I keep my fingers crossed for you Ernie. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
