Merilee Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Had scan done the other day,earlier because of back and rib pain...all ok but concern of very enlarged lymph nodes near broncial,outside of where tumor was removed in May,was stage two due to one of seven lymph node was positive ...I am so worried what this means as I just had surgery and chemo to clean up what's have been left does it mean the chemo didn't do what they thought ? I am terrified as to what happens.biopsy will be done with scope down throat next week...any thoughts,similar situation. So appreciated...

RuthieThomas Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Great news yesterday re: CT scan. Following a scare last month on my routine scan which showed that my lung had collapsed again (which bought me another bronchoscopy & biopsy, which were good), my scan done on Monday revealed absolutely no abnormalities plus my lung is almost entirely re-inflated! Three months of freedom! Yay!!! LaurenH and josie1961 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebob5 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Sorry, it's been ages since I signed on posted here. We are aware how we treat scans, has been 8 years since I started this journey and still hanging in there. Last scan Was July 27th and result were stable, I praise the Lord every night for he holds my hand as I walk through life. I have been in chemo now over three years straight, but again I look at the other side. I want to thanks all those who were there for me from the start. Good luck to each and everyone who is walking our walk. RuthieThomas, josie1961, LaurenH and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthieThomas Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Greetings! Going in this afternoon to get results of a scan performed on Monday. For some reason, the "scanziety" is worse than ever before. Just asking for fingers crossed & prayers! Thanks & God bless all of you who are walking this path and are so generous with sharing all your experiences & support! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Ruthie, A three day turn around on results! You are in tall cotton! Let's hope your results are there in the cotton with you. Stay the course. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthieThomas Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks, Tom...Tall cotton all around. Everything stable, still NED! Next scan in 3 months. Life goes on! Ruthie Tom Galli and LaurenH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthieThomas Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well, hell! My tall cotton got a little trampled upon last week. I had a folllowup appointment with the doc who performs my bronchoscopies and he saw an area on my scan that he was concerned about. He gave me the option of waiting the 3 months & see at that point what the CT scan looks like, or another lovely bronchoscopy & biopsy. His recommendation was to go ahead with the biopsy so we know for sure if there is anything to worry about, so back on the rollercoaster! He wanted to do it yesterday, but I had a committment that I couldn't change, so will have the bronch on Tuesday & go back the following week for results. So grateful to have a place to vent, glad you guys are here! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Ruthie, Double-dog-dang! I wouldn't want to wait 3 months either! I can't tell you how many times we suffered from it's gone-to-it's back-to-it's gone again. Once I remember we got a different diagnosis for three running months. But, unfortunately, scanziety and uncertainty are part of our new normal. So, first I pray it is an aberration, a false-positive, a inconsistent interpretation. I'm sticking with that until I hear differently. Do something fun this weekend! Stay the course. Tom RuthieThomas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthieThomas Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hallelujah! Biopsy results back today and still NED!! No more scans until after the Holidays. They will be especially joyous this year because I can EAT! Santa may have to bring me a larger wardrobe. Thanks be to God & thanks to all the good people in this community!

Meloni Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Got the results of my first post-treatment CT today. No evidence of cancer. Yeah! I think I amused my doctor because throughout this month I've been poking and prodding everything that's even a little bit sore. I circled all my spots with a Sharpie marker so they wouldn't be missed. Oncologist: I'm pretty certain the cancer hasn't spread to your hang nail. Anyway, I'm scheduled to follow-up with a CT scan in three months, and of course flush my port in-between, since he thinks I should keep it "indefinitely" until we decide otherwise.

Tom Galli Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Meloni! My oh my - WONDERFUL - news! We are livin' large in November and just keep that oncologist pointed at your hang nails. Hold on for Scanziety CT scan but that is 3 months distant. In the meantime, party! Stay the course. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Cornett Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Another 90 days and another NED report from the oncologist! I'm thrilled, thankful, overwhelmed - but mostly relieved. Woo hoo!!!

Meloni Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hello Peeps! I had my first post-NED CT in Nov, which came back good. I was scheduled for my next CT in mid Feb, but last Thur while cooking dinner, I discovered an enlarged node near my right collarbone. A quick search told me this was likely a supraclavicular lymph node. (FYI-no I was not specifically checking out my lymph nodes, it was an accidental discovery, lol). Oncologist bumped my CT from mid-Feb to Monday (yesterday), and when I met with him for the results yesterday afternoon, he recommended a fine needle aspiration biopsy, which will occur tomorrow. If that's positive, I'll need another PET to see whether there's anything growing elsewhere, and if it's negative, they will monitor closely, because a negative doesn't necessarily mean no cancer.
