      During CAT scans today to map out radiation the doctor mentioned that a lot of the bone been “eaten away”. Will the bone regenerate?

          My bone mets have healed over the past 2 years on the GSK BRAF/MEK trial – they have either disappeared or are much smaller.  So yes, the bone can regenerate.

          Best wishes,

          Harry

                Yes, damaged bone can regenerate. That is how broken bones heal, how bone grafts "take", etc.
