First CT Scan Results

Hi Mark,

That’s a really good result, you must be pleased with that. Looks like the nodes are shrinking and the adrenal gland will probably be having a good reduction in size because the main tumour is the lung so if it’s working there it will be working of the others because they have come from the main tumour, they are the same make up. Just concentrate on the reduction in size, I do remember showing results from an early scan to my brother who  was very impressed with the reduction of volume, (no me neither) he did try to explain but lost me completely. I didn’t get measurements off my oncologist, I used to ring my lung nurse for measurements, (you just need to know don’t you), I think oncologists just look for growth or shrinkage.
That’s a really good result and hopefully you get to carry on with the immunotherapy now and that will be easier. 
So it’s all looking good and you must feel better in yourself, keep us updated 

P.S. do you still get to meet Dr Death 

Hi Julie, Thank you yes i am pleased but obvioulsy keeping it real, i have immunotherapy now for two years the first is on friday.

Could i dare hope for a further reduction or even NED i just do not know, Ai tells me i could be classed as oligometastatic. which apprently means maybe curable, thats a big ask though.

All i want to do is get a bit older and die in the Maltese sun one day with a cold beer, im hoping thats not too much to ask

Dr Death is seldom seen,
But in the silence you will hear him -
A whisper, a step, a breath behind you.

Who is this Ai you are talking to, is he a good friend, have you known him long, I would be a bit careful and not easily accept all he tells you

That looks like an excellent base to start 2 years immunotherapy to me.

Well done and my best wishes for a successful second round hitting it while it's down.

Derek.

Thank you Derek, 

Julie just read your last results were good on your profile so pleased for you.

Im going to ask for a print off of my radiology report tomorrow at immunotherapy, so should know more as obviously my consultant doesnt feel the need to share details in depth.

Next week will be interesting to see how i feel after immunotherapy only, chemo / immuno was becoming a real drag.

Thanks, do let us know how you get on.

All the best.

Hi can you resure me Iam stage 3 lung cancer start radiotherapy on 3april then yesterday the hospital phoned and said the oncologist wants to see me on the 31 march lam so convinced I’ve got in my head as she sent for scan as a  precaution 2weeks ago I phone McMillan they said she would not phone for no reason it’s not that it’s round the corner it’s hour drive away not that Iam driving my poor daughter is bless her so we’ve got one trip tues and then 20 trips Thursday onwards every day thank you

Your oncologist should want to see you before treatment starts to sign consent forms, or have you already done that.

Thanks for replying I aren’t rember my head is all over the place that’s why I take my daughter I didn’t know i had lung cancer went to A&E for something else and found I had cancer when I went to see the surgeon he saw a X-ray from 6 years ago that was showing something and nobody followed it up it waswhen Covid was on
