Update - so I decided to circumvent the RO - I'm certain he's quite brilliant, and def. needs to learn people skills, but since I'm post treatment, and I see him very three - 6 mos (he shares the duty with my SO ) I' went to see my family dr. Who I LOVE! He yanked out my file, sat down with me and everything I mentioned he pulled out the report - and I have to say firstly if the RO had read the actual lung CT to me in march I would have had less of a freak out! My family dr. Did. And I went ohhhhhhh - apparently the radiologist compared my dec - chest ct to my march and they were identicle. Had my RO not sent a student out to come back and report (that i had insignificant spots - where i was told my previous ct was clear) and just gone and gotten the report himself and read it to me, that would really have relaxed me. Apparently what I have is environmental, etc... Not nodules or anything smile
After explaining my situation with RO and repeating what he'd said to my my dr looked confounded, he asked whe i was due for my next scan.... I said never unless i have a problem, my dr agreed I needed a local ENT, and set up another CT for my head... (since my initial cancer presented as occult) he said we'll do a head and neck ct, you should have one, and you'll come back to me - we'll discuss it, and I will then I'll send you for another chest to be on the safe side, and refer you to the ENT of my choice smile he's awesomeness!
