I Had a CT about 8 weeks post Tx and my docs told me "complete remission". They then told me there were 2 small spots in my lungs BUT NOT TO WORRY, most likely inflamation. I had another CT 3 months later and those spots were gone BUT there were 2 new small spots. AGAIN THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY. I just had another CT, April 24 and they said NO SPOTS but my thyroid was a little messed up and they put me on Synthroid. I mean why don't they just shoot me? I feel like the lizard my cat eats the tail of; throws it up in the air; puts it's paw on; carries it around in it's mouth; runs when I try to rescue the lizard but won't kill the darn thing.
