Tim6003 Lung Scan Results are in
Here is what the report reads
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Auxillary regions are clear
Mediastinum is normal
Lung field assessment shows decreasing nodularity in the superior segment left lower lobe as compared to prior exam, (Nov 7th) now with only one dominant nodular measuring 4mm and other stranding in the area. Findings favor benign etiology / inflammatory etiology. Follow up to complete baseline is recommended
Additionally, there is stable micronodularity along the right major fissure since last exam.
No new abnormality detected.
Limited upper abdomen is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Decreasing fibronodularity of the superior segment left lower lobe with recommendations and disussion above.
2. Stable micronodularity along the right major fissure.
3. Followup scan is recommended to establish baseline and/or document stability.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The doctor told me today that basically the scan is "a better scan than the previous scan and that this favors NOT being cancer but rather infectious related"
My last scan showed 3 nodules in the left lobe with the largets node being 7mm, a granulated/crushed glass appearance in the left lung (funny the radioloist did not mention any granulated or crushed glass appearance in this scan, so I assume it is not there or not worthy of notation ?)...
So again, I am thankful for the prayers (and well wishes) you all have been saying. I am now just less than a month shy of the 1 year mark from my last radiation / treatment.
Best,
Tim
I personally have know idea what "stranding" means or "right major fissure" ...but if the doc says it's better than the last scan and shows shrinkage not growth...I'm happy with that.

good news
Tim,
You are happy I am happy, let’s go snowmobiling tomorrow.
Without some research I do not know what it all means, but I think you are all or virtually all clear. Congratulations, way to end the year on a high note.
It doesn’t hurt to be persistent on getting these scans. Now, maybe you will relax a little (you deserve it).
Best always,
Matt

Glad to hear your good news and now you can truly enjoy your New Year. As far as the terminology, not sure about the stranding but the fissure is an anatomical feature referring to the division of the lobes of the lungs.

So glad to hear you too had a good report from the doctor. I am so happy we are getting some positive news on this website. We have seen way too many of our group have lung mets. I am praising the Lord you are not one.

Im not sure we will ever understand all these reports, but as long as they sound like they are going North and not South thats all we need to be aware of. Now keep chopping wood, fixing tolits, and loving that beautiful family you have.

Dude...
You need to quit hanging out with those wolves if you going to keep getting infections...
Congrats bro...
I think the stranding refers to fibrous tissue, more than likely a result of the infection or lung irritation..., not positive, but Pat should know I'm sure.
Fissures are separations for reference, or divisions of the anatomy of the lung...separating the main areas of the lung..., if memory seves me...something like that, LOL..., again, Pat can explain it better I'm sure.
