I havn't posted in a while but I do come on here everyday as I'm sure most people do. I am just way too busy looking after my two babies.
Well I had a ct scan the other day, I finished my chemo is March so this was a 6 month follow up scan.All other scans have been totally clear nothing to worry about But this scan although it was clear everywhere like liver lungs spleen ect it did say on the report that I have some slightly prominent cervical lymph nodes in my neck ( I can feel them) and 1 slightly prominent lymph node in my para-aortic area with numerous small ones between the ivc and aorta..... The dr didn't seem too concerned but he was looking for a pulmonary embolism .I had symptoms of a PE . I havn't seen my oncologist yet so I am a bit worried.I have been a bit run down with the flu so hope to god this is the reason for the lymph nodes being prominent.The para-aortic lymp node was 1.15cm.
So I am not sure if i shoiuld be happy with the results since all my organs are clear or if I should be worried?
