Joe B Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Thank you all for your prayers, keep em coming ! We met with the Oncologist today (we managed to move up the appt)... Bottom line is there is no evidence of disease......and I am cautiously optimistic There is some inflammation in my right lower lobe evident on CT from the radiation treatments... This is totally expected..... there are a couple of lymph nodes that are in the higher range of normal (8mm, & 9mm) .....these could also very likely be due to radiation tx- (as they were in the radiation field.....) And lastly, one very small (charaterized as "tiny') black spot, or lesion that is 1 or 2mm (very small) on the liver. Given the color (black) the onc thinks its a very small cyst...... the radiologist stated it is "too small to classify"..... so I feel pretty good....... no follow up for 3 months (the good Lord Willing of course)... and of we start the watching & waiting game.... But for right now, Gina & I are celebrating and heading down to FLA in less than a week .... God Bless Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
