Hello
anyone out there with experience of CT results? Just had my second WLE with full axillary clearance within 2 years. Was dx with new primary in other breast. 3/19 lymph nodes invloved 15mm grade 3 cancer.
Point is this time round had bone and CT scans. Bone scans clear but Ct scan showed some aspects in my lung. Didn’t see a doctor and the nurse who was delivering my results didn’t know about the CT scan - went off to get it. She showed it me – it said something about indeterminate subplural nodule. Anyone know anything about what it could be ?- or had similar results. Am I at liberty to ask for a copy.
Started to look things up and frightened myself silly…they can be benign or become melignant. Could chemo - which I’m yet to have -after another small op to attain clearance) deal with pre cancerous cells?
Recommendation to have another CT scan in three months. Am I destined to spend 3 months + 2 weeks worrying. Just had a phone call to say I’ll be needing herceptin!!
Hope someone has some answers
Helen
Hi there
Personally I think you’re best to ask someone in your medical team for an explanation of your results and ongoing plan for treatment and tests. If I were you I’d ask for an appointment with the oncologist who will be familiar with your case and able to explain things. Stay away from Dr Google!!
Throughout my diagnosis and treatment I have asked for and been given copies of the various reports from scans, tests and procedures as well as letters from consultants to my GP. After all they contain important information about me and I am perfectly entitled to have a copy (and to ask about or to challenge anything that’s written therein). Don’t be afraid to ask.
Good luck. Don’t sit there and worry for 3 months - get answers now from the professionals.
Best wishes.
