posted Tuesday, 15 January 2008

Dr Onc said he did not feel any masses or lumps and he couldn’t explain the swelling. He left it up to me if I want to wait and watch until March, when I go for my next scheduled check-up, or if I want to have a Chest CT scan now. Since that node I had biopsied in August, was too deep to be felt on exam, he didn’t totally make me feel better.

After talking with Dennis, we have decided to call and have the CT scan now. It has been about 6 months since I had my last PET/CT so we figure it will help put our minds at ease. So I’ll call Dr Onc and get it set up. He did tell me that he will set it up to where I see him the same day as the scan, so that I don’t have to wait for results

I am glad you are getting it checked further, but I also think it is great the oncologist is not too worried. Best to check it out than worry more for 6 months.
