The bone scan is called DEXA. The DEXA scan will give you a score on bone density & the chance for fractures. Some of the AI’s or hormone suppression meds can cause bone loss. I just had a scan before starting on meds. It can help you decide which medicine you would do better with. Best wishes on your journey!

I’m so sorry you have lost your mother.

Thanks but I am all caught up on DEXA's and on Tymlos for bones. I was on AI's for 5 years and stopped almost 3 years ago. I was curious about scans for mets. DEXA's aren't used for that, I don't believe.
