Can bone metastasis disappear after chemo treatment?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw your Positron Emission Tomography PET scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If I was your oncologist, I would be very satisfied with the report.

Bone metastasis cannot completely disappear after treatment. They become less prominent. As I have mentioned, it is a very satisfying result for the treating doctor. Regarding reaction to Femara (Letrozole), normally it is very safe drug, but reactions can occur in rare cases. Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) is also a very effective drug. Your oncologist might try again Femara after one to two years or even earlier. I think your treatment is on right track. Follow the instructions of your oncologist. All the best.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• In breast cancer, even if it is a single lesion, it is considered as metastatic.

• Yes, if multiple sites of bone are involved then it is severe. But, has no impact on prognosis compared to the people who have few lesions.

• If your chemotherapy and hormone therapy is effective, it will work on all the lesions. I think you are on right track.
