Amy, I agree with August that Minnie's doctor should be interpreting that scan and not just give you the results direct from the scan first, which is a way to scare yourself badly. I had one last year which would have scared me badly because there were some areas that had values in the gray area where it might be a tumor or might not. If I had read the results before my ENT looked at it, I would have gotten scared but both he and my MO went over it with me and convinced me there was probably nothing to worry about. The one I had this year, I just took the ENT's words when he said the results looked fine. The people who write those scan reports have to mention somehting might be cancer if there's even any remote chance from the results because of fear of being sued. But Minnie's doctor will be a better judge of whether there is something to really be concerned about. And I do really hope it is not. Sending prayers tonight....
