teresasuesan Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello Everyone, An interesting day. I got my negative Pet results from my gp. I had asked the thorasic surgeon to call him because the waiting was driving us into the ground. Well, lesson learned about taking shortcuts. Sat and discussed everything w/the surgeon today. The radiologist misread the films, the nodule has not changed in size, still 5-6 mm. He said the Pet picks it up at 7. So, we are going to repeat the ct (in his bldg.) in 3mos. He said that he is not about to sit back and watch it grow, but he doesn't want to subject me to the risks involved in a biopsy if there's no change. He said he wouldn't even be concerned if I didn't have such a long smoking history, but he'd be watching it anyways. I learned a lesson.... Have a great evening!

blaze100 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So it looks like the spot is stable? This is excellent news Teresa! Why do we pay those darn radiologists to torture us? We should just pick up the scans and go see the thorasic surgeons in the first place. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Great news. I was wondering when I saw your bio change from "nodule is 1.4cm" to nodule is still the same size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Sounds good so far, Teresa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Good news Teresa. I am sorry you had to get all churned up about it. I would imagine that a surgeon should be pretty good at reading ct scans for the area where he has his specialty. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
