Hi all,
Earlier this week I asked for help deciphering a ct/petscan report. There were 3 to 4 areas of concern in my husband's chest (who is stage 3b). I spent the last two weeks sad, tears, and worried over this. We received a call from our Oncologist and he said that the 3/4 lymph nodes enlarged are due to carbon inside them. My husband is a finish carpenter and the dust, etc. he inhales must be contributing to these lighting up on the screen. Sure hope he is right and that is all there is! If that is the case, the first scan after having a wide incision from a large tumor removed and lymph nodes out 5 months ago, all is clear presently. He was only able to do 3 out of 4 Yervoy treatments. I believe right now we relax until next scan since unfortunately there are not many other options for Stage 3b adjuvant setting. I'm going to try and just enjoy the next 3 months…
Our Oncologist is waiting to hear back from Steve Hodi (who we met) at Dana Faber in case he recommends something else. Take the good news when you can, right?
Donna
