    Liver question
    Hi, Tina. Thanks for your response & welcome. All the onc said was that he was no concerned; I guess I need to ask for further explanation, huh? Of course, when the word 'liver' pops up on the test results, I am prone to over-react unless given details. The report read, 'low-attenuation liver lesions, stable since the last report.' Thanks, Lynn

    Stable
    Stable is good, in fact those are "golden words" around here. Our oncologist and his PA always give us everything in English. If you don't understand something, tell the doc that you are not understanding something and to tell you again in English that way you are not left guessing and looking words up. Take care - Tina

    Louann, congrats on being cancer free. How does the onc arrive at that conclusion? Tests? Thanks for your prayers. In the past I hadn't been much of a fighter, but 'times, they are a=changing!' I'm try to arm myself now with as much information and good actions as possible. I'm finding already that people in this community are so knowledgeable and sharing with info the docs don't tell me. Louann, keep up the good work.

    they do C scans and if there is no cancer in any other organ than they say you are cancer free
    plus blood work is done and they look at your numbers and mine has ran normal since surgery
