Attached the Bone scan report taken on 21-Oct-16. Kindly let me know whether the condition got improved or not. Mainly I would like to know what "Numerical regression of skeletal metastases" means which is mentioned in the 21-Oct bone scan report.
Brief Answer:
Very good response
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
The current PET scan and bone scan show very good response as compared to before.
There is no active disease now. The bones show non-fdg avid sclerotic lesions which suggest healing. Numerical regression means numbers of bone lesions less.
Overall, it is favourable.
Hope this helps.
