teetlee Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Hello everyone. Just wanted to give an update about my health and situation. I'm scheduled for an octreoscan on Monday morning at 9 am to see if this carcinoid cancer has spread beyond my lungs. I have no idea when I will get the results back. It's kinda funny. I feel like me and my doctor are reading the same internet sites about this cancer and the tests. I don't think he has treated this kind before. I plan to ask him at our next visit. Several weeks ago my dr. had said that rfa (radio frequency ablation) would be a viable option for me. Now he says that if the cancer has spread and I have multiple sites ...I wouldn't be a candidate for the rfa. I really feel just like I'm starting over from the beginning again. New dx, new tests, new anxieties to fret over. And so it goes. Teet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Teet, I'll be praying for you and your scan results on Monday. Hopefully there will not be multiple sites. All this bouncing around and testing/retesting has to be really hard on you. Hang in there. fondly, Tiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
