@ss66 I wonder if a bone scan could indicate the calcium level in the bones judged by bone condition …? 🤔

@ss66 you said ‘ my doctor mentioned that this does not determine calcium level in the bones. ’. This is interesting as I’m trying to get a magnesium blood test, as this testing is not done in standard blood tests. In researching, the magnesium blood test , if done , is not a true picture of your magnesium level. A more accurate magnesium test is a RBC (red blood cell) magnesium test as the RBC magnesium test , tests the magnesium in your RBCx. What occurs is, if you are low in magnesium, the cells draw the magnesium from your red blood cells, so when standard magnesium test is done , probably would register ok, bit the true magnesium number could be low. Not very labs actually read or perform RBC magnesium blood test.
I’ve heard there is not much difference between the two test and that is why, but that the RBC magnesium test is More accurate. Chemo depletes magnesium, so that’s why this RBC magnesium test is important. We all must be proactive.

that is probably correct! Too much calcium will wreak havoc. I don't think you need to worry about calcium in your bones! Only density.
