I'm reading these posts with agreat deal of interest.
I had my 1st post Tx CAT appx 8 weeks after Tx. My RO told me I was all clear except a little spot on my lung but not to worry, he said. As I thought to myself, then why did he mention it?, I asked him why I shouldn't worry and was told spots are common in the lungs this close to the end of Rad Tx. Well that didn't satisfy me at all and we agreed to wait 3 more months and get another CAT which was just done last Friday. Now I have to wait until the 19th to find out my results. Waiting sucks the big one IMO.
