When I was first diagnosed in 2015 I had a CT scan and a “stable umbilical hernia was seen.” Jump ahead to July 2018..I start having pain around my belly button. Last month the pain had gotten bad enough so I went and saw my GP. She sent me for a CT, which took nearly 3 weeks to be scheduled. Keep in mind I just had my annual CT in May and everything was clear.
Today was my follow up. Below are some of the findings:
New subcentimeter pulmonary nodules, largest 6mm
1.8cm hypodensity in the dome of the liver which may represent a surface implant of carcinomatosis
Multiple soft tissue nodules in the abdomen suspicious for carcinomatosis
2.8cm nodule adjacent to the gastroheptic ligament
1.7cm nodule in left upper quadrant
1.9cm nodule adjacent to the right lobe of the liver
1.2cm nodule in the right lateral abdomen
1.8cm nodule anteriorly in the right abdomen
I’m waiting to get in with my oncologist. What’s next, PET scan? None of this sounds good to me, hope it’s not as bad as it sounds. Can’t believe all this could happen so fast. Oh, and they saw no evidence of a hernia...
