      So got preliminary scan results…there was some "fuzziness" in right lung but my oncolgist said it wasn't concerning for malignancy as lung nodules don't present themselves in that manner. Not to mention that I was on a Z Pack for sinus related issues last week. I was told that this is not uncommon in what they see in scans because basically you "see everything". Any thoughts?

      Still has me nervous but things can always be worse…so I won't complain much. Bloodwork amd everything else was normal…thyroid meds are finally working after ipi took that out last winter. Overall feeling good and praying to remain NED and that many others join the ranks of NED….praying for you all!

          The results sound encouraging. How do you feel physically? Are you dragging or do you have pep in your step? How is your mental state? Are you positive or feeling down? All this makes all the difference in your ability to fight this monster.

              I recently had my CT/PET scans also and a few spots showed up on my lungs, but the oncologist wasn't concerned. She said it could just be caused from the climate I live in and didn't believe it was anything related to melanoma…so…hope she's right and your fuzziness isn't anything of concern as well…

                    I feel good…working out, living life. Though as I did mention, I have been having sinus issues…time of year for me. Mentally I worry Jimmy but I don't let it drag me down…I know I have to push forward…being so fresh out of doing ipi and IL-2 just worry if it's durable. Doc says stay confident so I will!!!
