Not what I really wanted to hear. Finished 12rds chemo in April and this was my 2nd scan post-chemo. My last one was all clear cept 2 small nodules on lung.

This one liver ect all clear but now noudules have grown some and have 6 of them now. Onc said being a smoker (light less than 1/2pk a day) this would not be a concern but due to my cancer history were gonna take a closer look. The spots are to small to take biopsys from but has ordered a PET scan for mid Nov and a broncial swash/test (?) after that. Also sent me in for a another blood draw today to look at CEA count.

Wierd most colorectal cancers spread to liver 1st not lungs.
Also as of today I no longer smoke!

    Good for you to quit smoking entirely. It will be beneficial in more ways than one, i think you will see.

    Hey Kenny.....
    Beth (dorookie) has one of them vapor cigarettes that has helped her to quit smoking. Those are pretty awesome. Maybe its something that could help you if you need it. Good luck! Let us know about your CEA. Take care.
