candee Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The good news is: there is NED anywhere in my body except the left adrenal gland. The plan is: most recent films have been taken to radiologist at medical center to ascertain if my left lung can tolerate a biopsy. This is where I have severe radiation damage (a lot of scar tissue, and more still forming) If it can this will verify that what appears on the PET Scan is absolutely, without a doubt, scar tissue. If I can then that will be done first, then off to urologist to schedule excision of adrenal gland. Then chemotherapy. And doesn't that just s--- as my hair is finally thick again and in the process of growing for a particular style. Oh well, guess I will do that later this year. My onc will be treating me with Carboplatin and Taxol or Taxatere, not sure of how many cycles are planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
