in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Back from Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute. Had my scan at 7:45 this morning and then wait. Got to see the oncologist and Radiation guy at 9:15am. Everything is fine with my lungs. I have had the nodule for over two years now and it has not changed, still at 5mm. No new nodules. She said one more follow up in six months and then if clear to annual follow ups. Celebrated by having lunch with my wife at Smokey Bones. Denis

    Lungs

    Great news on the Lungs my firend, keep doing what you are doing. I too have one nodule on my lungs but after years of being there the doctors does not even check it anymore. Just scopping and checking the neck every 3 months.

     

    God Bless you my friend

    Lung scan

    Looked at the official paperwork today, the radiologist and oncologist report and it's better than I thought, a narration on the whole scan, apparantly they scanned more than my lungs, liver mediastynal and all areas of the chest were "unremarkable" the tiny nodes that were there for a long time are all calcified except the one they are tracking and that actually went from 5mm's to 4mm's. Stomach was good (if a little pouchy) top of kidneys were good, no nodes there. So not bad. Thanks all
