Karen_L Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Had my check-up scan this morning and the results just arrived in my chart. Phew-- free for another two months! Here are the highlights: No enlarged nodes. No pneumothorax or pleural effusion Minimal hazy groundglass opacities (All that prior damage is healing!) No suspicious nodules or masses. No bronchiectasis Normal soft tissues of the chest wall All good stuff. Even the question I have involves the word, "stable": "Stable moderate fullness and atelectasis in the perihilar portion of the right lower lung involving the right middle and lower lobes." It's the first time there's been any reference to atelectasis. Definitely something to chat with the oncologist about when I see her tomorrow. Or the onc. radiologist. Going to have a cup of good coffee and look out the window to breathe a big sigh of thanksgiving. Hope you're all doing well.

Karen_L Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Chest CT with contrast every two months; MRI (brain) every 2 months. I mostly feel relieved, and very grateful. Thanks, @LilyMir. I hope some of your situations are settling down…. Justin1970, LouT, Tom Galli and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
