spicysashimi Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The results are in. Generally good with some ???'s Mild uptake in mandible (that's right, my chin!!!). "This is of uncertain clinical significance" No CT abnormality in chin. Large lung lesion (Alfonse) same size but increased cavitation and decreased uptake. The three subcentimeter lung lesions (the three amigos) are the same size but have no uptake. No lymphadenopathy (no swollen lymph nodes) or uptake in hilia or medastinum. Minimal uptake in colon which is likely physiologic. Again "uncertain clinical significance". The previous hypermetabolic osseous disease (bone mets) appears overall improved with previous study. Manubrial lesion resolved. T1 lesion "no longer identified". L2 has increased uptake but radiologist blames it on differences in marrow hyperplasia and not progression. The uptake in the sacrum and pelvis are less conspicuous on the current study and demonstrate overall improvement. There remains a conspicuous lesion in the left acetabulum (hip socket) which is not significantly changed. I'll take it! Happy New Year.

mary colleen Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Aaron - I would take it as well. I'm happy for you. I hope that you're happy, too. All of the pain of chemo is paying off, and will continue to do so. You're getting there, I know it. Hang in! Mary Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welthy Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Aaron, Thanks for sharing and good to hear the report. Progress in the right direction is always good. Oh, and about the whole mandible thing, Tony looked like he had Abe Lincoln's beard on one of his PET's. They decided that it was gum/mouth irritation/inflamation. Now the "naming" is another thing altogether! You crack me up. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Alfonse, and The Three Amigos!!! I have often pictured mine as having a sort of 5-ring circus (or should I say 5 lobe...? )goin' on in there - ya know when they say "wait & watch"...? Heehee...what do they expect to see? Kidding. Aaron, I am so happy for your good report. As for the mandible thing? My last PET/CT showed uptake in the palate/tonsil/throat area (I have no tonsils) I kept joking that it was from talking too much. Actually, I have some weird, bony growth on my hard palate - still haven't determined the clinical significance of that, if any... Anyway - CONGRATS!!! Think I'll bake some brownies in your honor... Again, kidding...(?) Yours in HOPE!!! Stacey P.S. Tell Alfonse and the "Amigos" it's time for them to go, now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
