I had a letter from my own GP today with a report of my CT Scan.
He says that the CT scan confirmed that the nodules in the left lung present in November 209 were again seen but had not changed in the interim period.
There were no additional nodules seen but once again some thickening of the lining of the lungs and some calcific plaques were seen,
The slightly enlarged lymph nodes between the heart and the lungs had not obviously increased since the last scan.
In conclusion , all the disease seen in the last scan was once again present but does not appear to have progressed.
I had to make an appointment as the hospital want a thyroid function test and I phoned the surgery and was lucky to get on for this afternoon.
I had a lovely lunch of Avocado pear and prawns with mayonnaise and a salad.
We walked the dog and then went down to the surgery.
My Doctor is so sweet and was so happy about the news of my scan and I thanked him for the report.
He has given me a form for a blood test to be carried out for the thyroid function which will be tomorrow and I will get the results in 2 days he said.
He is now starting on Ray and is going to make an appointment for a scan for him as he was the one who worked with the asbestos. I pray they find nothing but here we go again.
Here is the scan of Debbie Brewer a wonderful woman who does so much for Mesothelioma and is fighting for the treatment of Chemoembolization to be carried out in the UK.
My Doctor has told me that anyone who has a scan can take a empty DVD along and for a fee of £5.00 or £10.00 you can have a copy, so I will do that next time as i find Debbie's so interesting and so imformative..
First ---black is air-- white is the tumours and thickenings

Now after chemoembolization in Germany her tumor has shrunk although some of it is still there.

Its like being on death row and you get a remission but really you want to be let out of prison.
I just wont this death sentence to go away.
