Just got the results of a follow up CAT done Feb 9th. THis was a follow up to my 1st post Tx scan where they identified a spot in the upper right lung and they decised to wait 3 months and scan again but this time they would scan the entire chest area as well as the head and neck region.

The GOOD NEWS IS that no evidence of cancer was found in the head and neck region and the spot previously ID' has resolved itself so we left our Rad docs office very happy.

The BAD NEWS IS we next visited my MO and he put the scan up on his computer and as he was scrolling through it he said " so what did Dr..... say about the 2 additional spots? My wife and I looked at each other and said .......Apparently Dr 31 had completely overlooked a portion of the path report which brought attention to 2 more spots in the lower part of each lung which said "mets to the lungs cannot be excluded. Followup is recommended." Then my MO said he doubts these are cancer either but since the 1st scan didn't scan the lower part of my lungs and there was nothing to compare them to we have scheduled another CAT in 2 months. Not to worry he said, I see this all the time. It's probably mucous.

WE left his office less happy than the first office but I am very upset that my RO told us everything was clear. If I hadn't have gone to see my MO, nothing would have been scheduled for another at least 6 months.
