jonlee71 Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Last July I was diagnosed with sclc. Went through the chemo; did the radiation, to include PCI. Scans looked good. Then a few weeks ago I started coughing a lot which led to a ct scan....there were some irregularities. Had a pet scan last week that showed 3 lesions. The radiologist and pulmonologist are confident its cancer, but my onc wants me to have a biopsy. This will probably happen later this week or monday. I just found this website today and have read some uplifting stories, and damn do I need some of those now. I am also hoping to find ideas on different treatments so I can be as informed as possible as to the the different options when I next speak with my onc. I will post over in the sclc forum for that though. Regards, Jon Woodard Quote

blaze100 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Welcome Jon, I see you had radiation. Any discussion that the changes on the scan could be scarring from radiation? Barb Quote
jonlee71 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks all for the warm welcome. The pet scan ended any hopes of the anomalies found in the ct being scar tissue. regards, Jon Quote
