OP "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 | Okay - had dr. Apptmnt today with RO and he freaked me out. Had 2 CTs - chest - head- asked results was told if anything had shown up - he'd remember - but sent resident off to double check - resident came back - said chest scan noted insignificant spots in my lungs- hello?
Now I had a scan in January that was clear ... So I asked - how does that compare to January's scan - they said no significant changes - ok show can my Jan scan be clear - this one have insignificant spots - and there be no significant change -?
So I guess my question is - I know anything is possible with this disease - but is it likely that my cancer has gone from a stage 2 tumor - to one lymph node involved - 39 others unaffected - to lung metastacies... ?
His words to me were - your going to obsess about this - I said yeah - I don't want to wait until it's too late if it is lung mets - he said if it is - then it's already too late... Huh.
Any opinions would be appreciated - thanks!
Okay so why the he'll am I going through radiation etc.
