Hemangiomas in spin post breast ca

[von4860]

I have completed chemo and now am on Femara.  I had stage one breast CA.  I have had numerous MRIs for back problems over the years.  I had MRI last week that now shows Hemiangiomas in L3 (Multiple).  Should I worry that this is bone met?  Should I ask for bone scan?  Betty v

I can fully understand your concern about possible mets, since this fear tends to always be in the backgroud for survivors...

However, I'm sure if the doctor who ordered the MRI or the radiologist who did the reading and report had any concerns at all along that line (esp. assuming they are familiar with your hx), they would have immediately made recommendations and referrals for additional evaluation, without your having to ask.

Best wishes...

When you click on the second link I pasted for you, type"Multiple hemangioma" on the rectangle where it says " GO"

Hi,
First of all,all I know about Hemangioma tumors,is that they are benign lesions that can be found anywhere in the body but that they do not turn into cancer. I think that you would be much better served if you posted in the "Back and neck Community Forum"

I have also added another link below, from other patients who have your same condition and I think that you might find it informative.
