Maryanne Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 His primary and his Oncologist called it stable. And of course that is well and good. But the bugger also grew from 4mm to 5mm Even though they are not concern as it is still so tiny there still is this growth. So as the results are promising its still scarey in the back of our minds that there still was a slight growth. I know so many of you can relate. So 3 months next CT. If there is a growth, they will do a PET. But right now if they want to call it Stable, we will take it. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm with you--I'll take stable anyday! It's so small that it could be avariation in the look they got. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Stable is very good. And remember what my onc tells me: the size of the nodule depend on how they slice the scan!! He always refers to a loaf of raisin bread. sometimes you slice the raisin, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you slice the fat part, sometimes the thinner part.

Barb73 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Maryanne, My thinking on this: It may be all in the way you slice it. Size may be the way the picture was taken. As for "stable," that has been on our plate, and I know the "back-of-the-mind" thoughts. They can be very energy exhausting and for naught. Keep positive. I'm sending every good vibe your way that I can muster, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Mine goes up and down from 4mm to 5mm to 6mm down to 4mm up to 7mm back down to 5mm, and mine has been doing that for 5 years now. It could just be the difference in the picture of the CT scan also. That really is small in size. Congratulations is in ORDER! HOORAY Joel is STILL STABLE!!!!! PARTY TIME!!!!!

shineladysue Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Maryanne & Joel, I've been waiting for this report and it was worth waiting for... WOO HOO!!! to Stable. I agree with what the others are saying about the size and slicing of the scans. I've heard the onc say this more than once. Sounds like news to celebrate, to me..

dchurchi Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Although we would all love to here the tumors have shrunk, or have been resolved, Stable is still very good news. I also think the small growth is slicing. Alan has a couple of scans where there has been slight growth, and the report itself even states it is probably due to slicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
