tnmynatt Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Anyone have experience with a fast growing tumor in a lymph node next to the aorta? Charlie's PET scan showed maximum uptake in that node and 3 other hot spots in his lungs. Any possible symptoms, etc. to watch for would be greatly appreciated. Take care. Praying for us all.

stand4hope Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Oh, shoot, Tina! No! No! No! I don't have any answers for you, my friend, but you already know from our PMs how I feel. May God lift you both up and get you through yet another setback. He will! All my love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy c Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 tina, my husband has the same thing; he had no symptons it just showed up on pet scan too; hopefully they will get some chemo to shrink it; Mike's have been stable-no increase in those lymph nodes.i guess we just sit and pray. god bless, nancy c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thanks everybody! Praying they can do radiation and the chemo. works. He got his 2nd treatment of Taxotere today. I haven't been able to find anything on the Internet about what to expect from this if it keeps growing. Any information and prayers are greatly appreciated. He seems to be feeling reasonably well. Just tired. He's in good spirits, Thank God. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Tina, just read this about Charlie. No ideas at all what chemo or tx would work. Ask the experts? Just sorry to hear that you are back at the drawing board. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
