CT scan result following chemo

Less than one minute read time.

Having been told I had a nodule in my stomach following the CT scan I was alarmed as nothing had been mentioned previously.  It is 13mm and could be scar tissue.  It has not got larger since the chemo.  There is another the same size in the skin of the bowel and I am told it is not in the bowel.  My Ca125 results are good  - down to 8.8 and 30 is normal.  I am told the Ca125 blood test will also monitor the one outside the bowel.

My blood will be tested a week before my next appointment and a follow up scan - so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

In the meantime my Mac nurse is going to get the doctor to confirm on my medical record that he considers me fit to travel.  Some insurance companies request this information.  Now all I can do is try and remember which company I was looking up when searching for holiday insurance!

Eyes are still not right from cataract operation. but it is early days.

    Hi Jan,  

    Happy to hear your latest news, it seems less of a worry now.  I think that the medical profession need to take a turn at being in our shoes when they impart a little snippet of info without full explanation, so that they can find out how it

    makes us feel and how the mind can run riot.

    Take care, Fiona xx
