CT Scan Results

From the written report:

"Adverse change with progressive enlargement of the pulmonary nodules throughout both lungs, largest in the right lower lobe currently measures 1.2 cm diameter as compared to 1.0 cm March 2011"

"Remaining thoracic, abdominal and pelvic findings as detailed above are stable."

Although these results weren't great, I think the wording of the report makes it sound a lot worse than it actually is. Dr. Lupichuck and I were a little disappointed at the lack of detail in the report about the pulmonary nodules. Some commentary on the presence or absence of new mets would have been nice. Also some more sizing information on the existing mets would have been good too. She is going to speak to a radiologist about having a closer look at those two things and is going to meet with me again this afternoon to discuss those results and treatment options going forward. On a positive note, there are no new mets anywhere else. More results and treatment plan still to come.
