Hi yall,

I juts can't keep my head of recurrence, and my MO keeps telling me I am over anxious. I think this is the case of all of us, anyone who experienced a hit by a train knows how it feels like to be hit again!!

My CT reports which were done twice over a course of a year always showed two lesions in the liver which might be hemangioma, and a nodule in the lung. My recent CT which was in Jan this year showed the same lesions in the liver of same size, and that nodule disappeared but a new one showed which was less than 2cm and some polumnary changes, and my MO said we need to wait and repeat the CT. I am not insured, and I am really broke and ran out of any financial aid that I can get. Not sure, would I have by now experienced symptoms if it was any sort of malignancy?

Of course that does not give a defenit conclusion but at least gives a peice of mind

    Poly,

    This is tough stuff. You seem to feel that something bad is coming.

    we do understand.

    Edited for bossiness.



    Best wishes

    Mods, do you agree?

    I cant comment on the lung nodule, but it is possible to have liver mets and not have any symptoms. My liver met was 11 cm before I started having any symptoms.



    Hope they turn out to be nothing

    I have always had some tiny lung nodules which my doctor describes as "a dime a dozen". . . they haven't done anything to date.

    Hang in there. I assume you have regular follow ups scheduled (maybe six months?). My treatment center has a social worker who works with people to ensure they get the care they need--talk to your doctor they will find a way. Ask the doctor when he wants to do another CT and work with him and your treatment center to make it happen.

    Take care
