Bev

I hope it's not another cancer or any cancer at all! I certainly can empathize with your shock at what the scan showed. I too went through a sense of disbelief when 11 years after stage 3 colon cancer, and less than a year after an MRI a stage 4 pancreatic cancer with a met to the liver was revealed.
Try to stay calm as you await the PET scan as you and others on the board have often said , whatever it is it is, and you will formulate a plan of action to do whatever is needed. You are a very strong person, taking care of your husband's multitude of needs during his cancer recovery,after your own battle with colon cancer.
Wishing you well and swinging those chickens for a clean PET scan.

So sorry, Bev - that sucks so bad. Really hoping it's inflamed nodes or due a cheap CT machine they found in a back alley.

Bev G wrote:Hi Kids,

I was to have what was advertised to be my last "real" onc appointment and "last" CT scan today. My liver resection was 5 years and one month ago, and my onc told me a year ago he would declare me cured today. Uhhhh....not so much. My CT scan showed several large mediastinal masses. He doesn't think they are CRC mets, butt thinks it looks like I have a new primary cancer. He's going to be getting me in for a PET soon, and is referring me to the lung cancer specialist who will do a bronchoscopy very soon. So, I'm back on the cancer fast-track. I guess there's a very small change it's nothing other than inflamed notes, butt that's not too likely.

I'm sure more news will be to follow.

Love,

Bev

I sincerely hope it's NOT really. Even having to contemplate another cancer seems unfair. I hope your oncologist is wrong.
