I had my DMX on 5/3/19, healed well and now ready for the diep flap reconstruction. Plastic surgeon ordered a CT scan of abdomen to check blood vessels.

During the scan I did ask technician if they saw anything else, like on my ribs, would it be seen and noted. He said yes, which relieved me a bit because I have always had this tender area on my right rib cage, under the breast ca breast.

Anyway, I got a call from PS that a spot on my right lung needs to be investigated before he continues and he referred me to a pulmonary Dr. and ordered blood work. My appt is coming Aug 1st. The bloodwork ordered is not standard stuff and I believe it might be tumor markers but am not sure, I asked blood draw person but he only said I should discuss with my Dr. That was 2 days ago, and still no results are available online, it was 7 vials, several different colored caps.

Did anybody else have a spot show up on CTScan? Did you do the watch and see approach? Was it Mets? I don't know the size or anything, just told over the phone.
