Bob on his three year annual visit last week went for a chest x-ray ordered by his ENT. A baseline X-Ray was taken two years ago one year after treatment. His ENT says there is something on the X-Ray that was not on the baseline. He is ordering a CT next week. He suggested it could just be a vessel? and not to worry yet? I searched and saw several people have had an inflamation that showed up as a something. Did they have a cold or symptoms before hand? Bob hasn't. I am thinking if it was scar tissue or something from the radiation it would have showed up on the one year baseline. He has not had pneumonia or anything major respitory that we can we think of since. His last PET was last year this time ordered by his Rads Doc and it was negative. Just like everybody else I know it is not C until it is C but it is hard to wait and wonder. Trying to be positive but?. Thanks Denise
