Great News, but Would Like Your Opinion - 04-30-2009 07:17 PM
Hi Everone:
Finally spoken to the doctor who reviewed my CT re-staging photos. I'm been frustrated as the report was very vague.
I've learned that the CT was non-constrast, so she could only measure macro biologic activity. It seems that she could not see any cancer/tumor from the CT scan, although there is a small SUV of 3.7 remaining.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So far, 2 doctors, 1 dentist and 1 CT doctor couldnot see/feel any tumor.
However, I still have to do radiation which will be TomoTherapy. My question is how do you think this will effect radiaton. I start Monday, but I'm just curious of your opinion and/or experience. How will they target the radiation if there is no localized tumor. Do you think it will effect the amount of radiation and/or number of treatments.
Just curious. As you can see, I'm impatient for information.
Always love a good discussion.
