kimblanchard Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 They did the medianstinoscopy (sp?) and bronchoscopy - surgeon woke me up while still on the table - NO CANCER. He doesn't know why it lit up on pet scan but NO CANCER. He decided not to go into the node in my neck - not sure why - but he was very confident about it all. NO CANCER. I got home late last night - barfed most of the night and morning - had a headache like a 3 day drunk - but almost back to human now and have kept down toast, egg, and most recently a whole slice of pizza. NO CANCER. I can breathe for a while again. GOD IS GOOD - HE HEARD AND HE ANSWERED PRAYERS !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hi All...... I have a question. I hope someone can help me with an answer. Can a doctor tell if you have cancer by a blood test, or does it have to be a scan, biopsy or ???? My onc said in April, I guess the cea (not sure if this is what it is called, how do tumor markers work? Please, educate me) was 13, dropped to 12, in June was 6, now says 1.8. The onc doesn't really explain anything, only says you are doing great, don't worry about it. I have not had a CT since June 10th, will have another in Oct. (Started chemo 7-23 again, only 3 wk cycles this time) Is this normal for scans to be so far apart? Also had pet on June 28th, (demanded Pet) onc said I did not need. How do they determine what you need? Also, I have never had a scan of the brain, is this common? Onc said after 4 cycles of Taxol/carbo she is going to start me on Taxotere. If Taxol is working why rock the boat and change....... Have had 38 treatments of radiation and 8 weekly treatments of taxol/carbo, tumor shrunk 60-65%. The onc doesn't seem to want to do tests. (((((((PUZZLED))))))) What is right??????? Everyone on here is so helpful and I trust what people have to say on here. Praying for all of you and the "CURE" for all of us...... Thank you so much. Please reply........ God Bless Karen ********** Dx'd 3-03 nsc 3a Radiation and chemo taxol/carbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I've always understood that cancer can only be determined by a biopsy. Other things may indicate cancer, but only the biopsy tells for sure. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
