What the heck does this mean?

I am sorry
to say that I do not have an answer for your question, but I would definitely contact my primary care Dr to discuss with them as well as question your Onc Dr as well. My understanding of calcifications is something hard within the body. My brother used to get calcifucation deposits under his arm pits and sometimes in the back.

My #1 Rule while be treated was, If I did not understand report, metholodgy or something was just not right, I was on the the phone immediately or at my Dr's office.

MY SCANS SAID THE SAME KIND
MY SCANS SAID THE SAME KIND OF THINGS.I asked the doctor and she said they were age related and even if extremely healthy people get scanned they are bound to find something.
She also told me if they saw anything they were concerned about they would mention it to me.She also told me to just not worry about things I read on report that she did not mention.calcifications on the heart are age related and most people after their 50's have some.If you ask your onc I am sure he/she will tell you the same thing.

My Onc's office just called and said it was a TYPO!
A typo!!! So I have been researching how to prevent having a heart attack for 2 days!
Anyway, I am glad I researched. I feel better knowing that my heart is NOT enlarged.

Doc notes
What they probably meant to say was, "she is such a wonderful person and has a large heart," or something to that effect.

Hmmm...


Re:
"I was reading my CT scan and came across this...."
"Heart is enlarged and coronary artery calcifications are present".

So.... You have a big heart, and love to drink milk. My Grandma was
like that, always giving kids cookies, making supper for the needy,
real big heart...... and man, could she drink milk!

I stopped reading my scans when I worried all weekend about
a big spot I noticed near my.... uhh... groin area, and finally found
out Tuesday afternoon that it was my belt buckle.

Stop reading your scans. You pay the doc to do that, so....

STOP READING YOUR SCANS

There. Now get better.

OH.... PS (that means: by the way..)

My scan report started with the statement that I had a colostomy.
I have an ileostomy - opposite side, different organ connection...
So I worried for three days, until I finally got word that the technician
was reprimanded and corrected -all- the mistakes.

ALL?

I want to have the scans re-read by someone outside the system,
and keep getting denied due to Medicare not willing to pay..
The words: "I'll pay out of pocket" doesn't seem to help.

This is "life" as we get to know it. So ya'see, it doesn't make any
dif if you go western medicine or an alternative, if you have cancer,
you're going to be at the industry's peril one way or the udder.

Smile if it doesn't hurt.
