Thank you all for responding. Sorry for the confusion. She had a GI incident 3 years ago that landed her in the er. They did a CT scan of her abdomen and picked up spots on the bottom of her lungs in the process and then forgot to tell her about it. Three years later (last October), she goes back to the same ER for the same GI stuff and theydo another CT scan of the abdomen and pick up the spots on her lungs again, but this time the radiologist compares and notes that they are bigger, and this time, her doctor remembers to tell her. They opened her up and removed a lung lobe with the melanoma in it in November. A December PET scan was clear, although she has cysts on her ovaries and her CA-125 was quite high. She will have the cysts removed in a couple of weeks. They are just doing a wait and see, although the insurance company does not want to pay for the PET scans they want every three months. The oncologist recomended tx of leuk….something, but the insurance will not pay for it. They found no primary site. Cancer runs in her family (father, brother and gma all died from it). We are in SW Ohio.
I just like understanding things!
Thanks for the responses!
