Fluid in Pelvis / PET,CT,Colonoscopy questions
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2019 11:39 am
Hi all,
I posted a few weeks ago that something popped up on my CT (nodule in presacral area). I was super worried, they scheduled a PET scan, doc put me on Tumor Board (I go to Cleveland Clinic in Florida). Dr messaged me on their app that the PET scan was all clear! HURRAY!
However, at today's follow up appt he didn't seem quiet as care-free. I have a CT scan scheduled for 3 months from now. Said during the tumor board meeting that fluid was detected in the pelvis and they aren't quite sure what would be causing it. They said it is more common in women, but less common in men and want to check it.
I am due for a colonoscopy (2 years since last one) to follow up. This was my 3 year CT scans being NED. Anyone have anything similar? What do you think would cause this? He said it could just be some inflammation or a complication from one of my old surgeries.
Also I was of the impression that they could detect tumors with CT+PET? I know smaller ones they can't always, so a little more nervous for my colonoscopy than I was originally. Thanks.
