Yes he freaked me out... big time. He said to me lots of people have lung spots particularly if they live in the city. Just not many of them know it because they don't have cts. He said they were insignificant - the radiologist said they were insignificant so I have to trust that they know what they are talking about. It's just that I am so untrusting of the tests right now. I truly believe my MRI was misread with regards to the lymph node.
The other oncologist said while oral cancer can metastasize to the lungs, it's unlikely it would only be found in only one node then move to the lungs also he said his experience with tongue cancer is that it doesn't normally move that way - It's just that it freaked me out since my first CT said clear. But he said it was likely it was on the first one too but because they are insignificant that radiologist didn't report it. My regular RO said the radiologist said it is insignificant, but because this is a cancer hospital protocol is to report everything. I don't know. I just have to trust that they know what they are talking about - 3 months they will do a ct again. but likely nothing. thanks everyone... I guess that was my weekly freakout... you all are great even though you have your own challenges. hugs and much healing to you...
