Hi, This forum,deals only with breast cancer issues.By clicking on "Forums" (Top of the screen) you will find a long list of medical topics and I think the appropriate one for you would be "Orthopedics" where you can be much better served.Thank you and good luck.

I'm going to take a wild guess since you are posting here that you are possibly a breast cancer survivor. Bone Island is a benign bone growth but is easily confused with bone metastisis from BC. You don't say what type of imagery you had done but these benign tumors do not show activity on bone scan and this is often used to differentiate between bone island and bone mets.  If yours proves to be just the benign bone island, they are usually treated in a conservative manner.    Regards ....
