Klor con is potassium replacement. He must have done a metabolic panel and determined you were potassium depleted, so he is replacing it.


Prednisone is a very cheap but powerful drug for immunological diseases. It inhibits the immune response. Its used to treat so many things I would have to know exactly what your diagnosis is to comment any further.
Reply:the drs uasully do a bone scan to test for bone cancer or they may be checking for ostoprosis sometimes the hormones get messed up and can cause ostoporisis. my grandmother had lung, kidney, liver and bone cancer. they found out she had bone cancer by doing a bone scan.. i hope everything works for the best.. good luck
