-Cheryl- Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hello friends, I just got back from the oncologist's office and got my results back from CT scan. The report reads: 1. Area of RIGHT Upper Lobe has improved since previous examination. 2. Stable Nodule within Left Upper Lobe (Did not light up on previous PET Scan- Doctor just watching) 3. No Significant change in Precarinal Lymph Node 4. Possible Two Subcentimeter Lymph Nodes witin the Mesentery which were not imaged on the prior examination (Doctor didn't feel these were mets. Report states- small lymph nodes versus volume averaging with vessels.) 5. Normal pelvis Doctor said this is "a good report" and "what we had hoped for in 6 weeks." I will need to contact my surgeon to proceed with surgery. I should feel better about the results, but am scared still. I was given a shot of arsenap (SP) to boost my iron. I am just so tired. Anyone know how long the shot takes to do the trick? Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Cheryl- Way to go!!! That report sounded VERY encouraging to me! I suspect that your great fatigue makes it harder for you to be enthusiastic about much of anything, but know you persevere and conquer. On to the surgery!!
