Yesterday I had a CT Scan W & W/O Contrast. The results of the scan show two areas of concern. My lower left lung has 3 nodules showing about 7mm in size. There is still an inflamed mass in my pelvic area, but while tumor recurrence could not be discounted it is more than likely scar tissue from the numerous surgeries.
I was upset, to say the least. I sure was hoping for a clean bill. However the nodules are about 1/4 inch in size and hopefully can be removed easily. The mass in my pelvic region is not worrying me too much. After all a surgeon was in that area twice, January and March of 2015 and found no evidence of cancer.
I have been off chemo for 8 months and hopefully an alternative can be found that would keep me off the chemo I was on because it sure had it effect on me.
Terry and I will see the Dr. tomorrow morning and find out what plan of action can be developed. No lymph nodes are involved and other than the three small nodes in my lower left lung and the unknown in the Pelvic region I'm clean.
I feel pretty good, but my mind is playing its games and from time to time I find myself clenching up pretty good as I realize that Cancer is back.
So sorry to hear your latest scan results, but your response to it is positive, if understandably disappointing. I hope that an effective alternative to chemo can be found and that you won't have to deal with its negative effects. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read your news. I've been following you as I have had bowel resection too and you have helped me recover and helped many others with your frank explanations. Thank you, take care and I'm hoping and praying that things aren't as bad as the mind makes it out to be.
