Scan commentary

We've known since my recurrence was found that there was damage to the hip joint. Ten scans later, the last one referred to a "non-displaced fracture, as before."  ??? First time anyone referred to it as a fracture, but clearly referred to it as unchanged.

That seems like a strange

That seems like a strange thing not to have reported!

Oh, it was reported

It wasn't that they didn't report it before.  Previously it was referred to as a bone lesion, acetabular lesion, or a lytic lesion. This was just the first time anyone referred to it as a fracture. My orthopedic doctor looked at the films and said he wouldn't have referred to it as a fracture.

Interesting. It's so

Interesting. It's so subjective.

Congrats, Lisa, on good scans

Congrats, Lisa, on good scans.  So happy for you.  Yes, the "unremarkable" non-existent gall bladder is pretty funny.  I sure hope the radiologist isn't just hitting an autofill electronic record reading and then adding on his own focused reading of the important, relevant areas.

Lung nodules are VERY common as we get older.  If it's unchanged, it's surely nothing.

I agree that this thread mode of communication serves us much, much better than the Facebook group mode.  I've finally found a community of people (all 168 of us) for my rare splenic marginal zone lymphoma.  It's nice to talk with others with the same condition, but the FB group feed is totally worthless for doing research of people's past experience and knowledge.  With this format, it's possible to go back and hear from women across the years, some of who mare still with us, some of whom are not.  But the knowledge survives.  It kind of reminds me of the Talmud, with the rabbis arguing the law across the centuries.

I have a couple other (nonmalignant) conditions I am in a FB group for, and yeah ... no likey.

Discontinued Yahoo Group

There used to be a Yahoo group that was specifically for uterine carcinosarcoma (MMMT). There were past threads you could search and read, although it wasn't as easy to use as this board's format. But earlier this year Yahoo removed online access to discussions and all other features except simple membership management, essentially turning all groups into mailing lists, and on October 13, 2020 it announced that Yahoo Groups will shut down on December 15, 2020.

Use of the Yahoo group had diminished in recent years as many members began posting to the Facebook group instead. But I've resisted switching to the Facebook group. I don't find Facebook's interface very useful for the type of information we post and reference later here.

Lisa!!

So very happy to hear that you had a good scan!  I love celebrating the victories around here!
