-Cheryl- Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hey Folks, Just got back from my onc. He said that the scans look good! Lots of changes due to treatment, including small plueral effusion around the right lung and my heart, but that this was normal given radiation, chemo, and surgery? He said that my lungs have been "traumatized." Sounded scarey to me though! My cough is about the same, but breathing is not compromised, Doc said it would get better on it's own. I was not given anything for it. The nodule in my left lung is still unchanged and believed to be benign. We will just continue to watch it. No chemo was necessary because there was no active cancer going on anywhere! I don't need to go back to see him untill Jan.! Thank you for the prayers!!! God Bless you all!
