Before your test, your doctor will ask you to take off all jewelry and ... up the most tracer. In bone scans for cancer, your doctor usually looks at your entire body for any bone damage.

Your body is made up of over 200 bones, a few trillion microbes ... Without oxygen to keep them alive, the cells self-destruct, spilling all that fluid onto the coffin floor.

There are therapies that target cancer cells anywhere in your body. Other treatments ... your cancer has spread to your bones. Make sure you understand all of your treatment options.
