Good day to all!
Had an (on-line) peek into the results of my annual exam in preparation for a review with my docs next week. Blood work and scans didn't find anything significant and concluded that there are no indications for relapse or new mets.
Must say that, despite that normal life has mostly resumed, the weeks leading up the scans were still strenuous. Can't tell you how happy I am, that (6½ yrs after dx), I'll be 6 yrs cancer-free on September 23.
There's one thing in the report that I need your help for in preparing for the discussion with my docs next week:
In the report, the radiologist mentions that a cyst in liver segment 2 (always been there) has become 'more prominent'.
I've no idea what is meant with that expression. Could it mean that it has suddenly started to grow?
I can't imagine that it would be something significant, as there is no mention of it in the conclusions. Neither is there any suggestion for follow up.
Anyone here who can has any idea what causes a cyst to suddenly grow? Any need to start monitoring it? What could it lead to.
I'll discuss this with my docs anyway, Tuesday, but will appreciate any assistance interpreting what is said in the report.
I realize how I lucky I've been with this outcome of my cancer journey. Wish that you all may find similar fortune
Greetings, Leon

PS: CEA (Bayer method) was 1.4 µg/L
Had it checked at a different lab. They found 1.8 µg/L (Roche method) 2-weeks ago
