Today's CT results :-(

BusterBrown

 

Met with my doctor this afternoon to get my CT scans results and the news was not good.  Several liver spots that were absent from last 3 scans are back, I have a new tumor on my adrenal gland (on top of right kidney).  With that news I'm now schedule to get a Pet Scan this Thursday along w/ an MRI, The MRI is for some bad headaches I've been having.  All my blood work is in good order, marker around 4. For the first time in a long time my oncologist looked a little uneasy.  For now, the flu seems to be going away and I'm feeling more energetic.  Time will tell.  Peace

cy scan

I have a CT scan every two months and each time it shows a growth on my liver.  Then ultra sound scheduled with a biopsy finds nothing. Next I do a Pet scan and nothing lights up. My CEA is less than one but mu oncologist knows something is there only because CT scans say so. Could be anything else but he thinks cancer just doesn't know why he thinks so. In the past eleven years ( three bouts with cancer) I had CT scans so often I light up a room in the dark. The truth is for me the CT scan has been wrong 60% of the time. Both in not finding a cancer and identifying cancer I didn't have. Now every two month it's like ground hog day. Repeat the tests ; repeat the results; wait another two months. My point these tests and the doctors are not definitive. Best of luck Lou
