TNBC with lung mets

hi , was recently told in May that I was stable after my ct scan . I recently went to GP about increased pain around lung area,  had pleurodesis via vats last November, I asked if he had last ct report which he printed out for me. Reading the report I was shocked to see that it said there was an increase in size and number of pleural and lung mets largest being 10mm ( this was 6mm in feb 2016) also state I have a dominant metastasis in the left lung which I had never been told about. 

 

I have contaced my oncologists secretary and asked for copies of previous scans. Also just had a ct scan and get the results on 5th sept. 

 

Is is there a certain growth that is considered stable ? What size of met is considered large?

my GP felt that it was likely I would need chemo again. I finished gem/carbo in feb 2016.

 

any advice welcome 

thanks x

Hi Sarah, I’m all new to this so can’t help on what is considered stable I’m afraid. My diagnosis CT noted multiple large mets and noted an example of 29mm if that gives you any indication xx
