I tried to write my history in the signature part but maybe wrong place???
  2. Hello. I'm new to this site,however have found it very helpful for the short time I've been here.I was dx with nsclc stage IV in Feb 2007. I have been through 6 taxol/carbo treatments with 4 treatments of Avastin. I feel I have done very well. My left lung(for which I was staged) is clear!! Radiologist says he thinks I have some scar tissue left over. (Forgot to mention I had 51% of left lung removed,and a pericardial window put in for fluid around my heart). My pet scan showed some activity on right lung but radiologist thinks it's a benign granuloma. The area around it is inflamed but the radiologist is not concerned this is cancer. However, I have 2 very small spots in my liver that have been there the whole time. Sometimes they show up on CT sometimes they don't. They did vaguely light up on PET. My oncolgist recommended RFA but the radiologist said at this point he can not do this procedure b/c they are too small. The largest is 2mm. I will see my oncologist again in 2 months. In the meanwhile I worry that they grow rapidly. Also how do we know for sure that the scar tissue and granuloma are not truly cancer?I know that I should have full trust in my Docs but you still worry. I am 29 years old with 2 children and a wonderful husband that need me here with them. I still sometimes run a low grade fever and just feel blah. I'm having an upper GI done Wednesday due to some esophageal problems I've had since chemo,but my ears and neck hurt as well. PET does not show anything bad in this area thank GOD. I've finished a Z-PAK thinking maybe it's a sinus inf but still feel blah.Just wondering if anyone has similar symptoms, or if I'm just worrying to much. Thanks-KHTM
