I was done with chemo in November 2016 and had my first scan in February 2017. I had an enlarged lymph node so I had a PET scan a week later to make sure it was ok. I had my next scan in June then another in October. My Oncologist bumped me to 6 months so my next is in April. I assume I will be on 6...
Congrats! Enjoy the moment. I had mine removed in November after having it 1 1/2 years. I lost a lot of weight since being diagnosed so it really poked out and was uncomfortable. The procedure was a piece of cake for me. I received the propofol so I was out of it and was sore for a couple of days. I...
Hello. I had my first post chemo scan in February 2017. They saw one enlarged lymph node that was 1.2 x1.1 in my mesentery. I had a PET scan with no activity in the node. I was not able to biopsy due to its small size. I had a follow up scan in June and it was the same size. I had another scan in Oc...
Finally got my results and everything is clear! Still have enlarged lymph node but its stable and same size. Also have some lung nodules that may have been a couple mm larger but still labeled as calcified granulomata (my lungs are scarred and damaged from being a severe juvenile asthmatic that I ou...

Congrats! This is great news! I'm still waiting on my results, no word yet... UGH!
Hope yours was good yesterday! Haven't gotten the results yet. The last couple scans have taken a couple days to post results. I used to get them the same day when I was first diagnosed. I'll probably get them by tomorrow morning. I'll keep you updated. Thubler I hope your scan was clear as well. T...
So I have another scan tomorrow morning at 0800. Honestly I have been dreading this day for awhile. My scanziety hasn’t been too bad. I just worry because I have these two enlarged lymph nodes that have been the same size since they were discovered during my first post chemo scan. I had to work toni...
Hello. I finished up chemo 11/16. I have had two CT scans and one PET due to an enlarged lymph node. Everything has been stable. I have my next scan mid October and if everything stays the same my oncologist wants to have my port removed. Im torn on if I want it out yet or not. Most of the time I fo...
Im sorry that you have to be faced with this. You have found a great resource here because it seems you can always find someone that has or has gone through exactly what your husband and you are facing. I know it seems bad at the beginning, especially when it's unexpected, but take a breath this can...
Not quite sure what the collapsed bowel is, I have never had that on a CT before. Thanks Lee, yes the instructions were correct, I had found my instructions later on in the night and I was confusing the 4 hr fast vs the longer fast for the colonoscopy.
So I had my follow up CT scan today, they put a rush on the results because I have an appointment with my Oncologist tomorrow so I got the results this afternoon. On previous scans I have shown calcified lung nodules in both lungs, most likely from the years of adolescent asthma with some probably w...
So I have a follow up CT scan with contrast tomorrow but cant find the instructions for fasting and drinking the two bottles of contrast. Does anyone remember their instructions? Thanks.
