Saw my oncologist this morning. He thinks they're probably artifacts because they just appeared out of nowhere compared to earlier scans but he's doing a blood test and I'm being scheduled for a bone scan test and MRI just to make sure.

I've never had radiation. Thanks for your response, it's very helpful. I guess I'll have to have more tests and/or schedule my next scan sooner. I would normally discuss this with my wife but I don't want to alarm her needlessly over something that could be nothing so it's good to have somewhere to ...

I had a colon resection in November 2015 and have been clear since then except for one nodule that had appeared in my lung between the pre-surgery CT scan and the beginning of chemo two months later. This nodule was monitored and seemed stable but when it started growing I asked for it to be removed...

I finished my 12 cycles of Folfox at the end of June. I had been warned to watch for signs of neuropathy but aside from a few days of cold sensitivity (particularly bad in the winter), I noticed no symptoms ie no tingling or numbness. In the last 2 months or so of my treatment I did notice daily ins...

Thanks. Since it was a lung scan only I didn't have to take that awful contrast fluid or even change into a gown. Quite quick. I have my 8th cycle (of 12) of chemo tomorrow so since the CT was done in the same hospital I expect I'll know the results tomorrow. Hoping for the best.

Thanks. Which clinical trials are these? CimaVax?

In November I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had passed out after a month or so of stomach problems. Earlier, after an ultrasound, my doctor thought it was gallstones and I was awaiting an appointment with a surgeon but when I passed out and went to emergency they determined, after an X-ray and ...
