barbvh Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Good Evening Everyone Today is an Amen – Hallelujah kind of day. Today we celebrate! I saw my oncologist this morning. My PET/CT and CT reports from last week showed that all but 2 of the nodules that grew so much between my scans last December and my scans in February are smaller by about 50%. Two of the littlest ones grew a bit, but they are not concerned about them right now. The nodule that I had in my left lung and the enlarged lymph nodes are no longer seen. This was SO wonderful to hear. This is what they thought may be metastases on February the scans. What this means that I still have lung inflammation. My oncologist said it may be from my ruptured silicone implants. They will watch me closely, but everything is much better. I still have some symptoms because of the inflammation, a cough, shortness of breath and fatigue. They are beginning to improve and hopefully will continue to do so. I see my pulmonologist on the 22nd and I will have my next CT in 3 months as long as I feel well. Thanks again for all your prayers and support. Hugs, Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
