I joined MyHealth and was able to see my CT and bone scans. I turned the results into a visual to give me a better understanding of where the cancer is and marked them in red. I don’t know the exact location and sizes of the tumours/lesions but it really helps me understand whats going on and answers a lot of the “why” when I hurt in certain areas or can’t be comfortable for too long in one position.

The report reads in part, “Stable lytic bone lesions are present involving the right scapula, right 4th, 6th and left 9th ribs. Sclerotic metastasis involving the T10 and T8 vertebral bodies are associated with mild T8 vertebral body height loss. Extensive lytic and sclerotic metastasis involving the L2 vertebral body and spinous process, L5, bilateral iliac wings and left acetabulum. Increased density posterior to the L5 vertebral body is suspicious for anterior epidural involvement.

IMPRESSION: There are multifocal mixed lytic(disintegration) and sclerotic(hardening or thickening of the bone) osseous metastasis involving the ribs,thoracolumbar spine and pelvis. Mild pathological fracture of T8.”

A lot of the words escape my understanding but that’s ok. I get the idea.
