Hi all, it’s been a long time since I visited these boards and wanted to ask a quick question if that’s ok.
I’ve just had the results of a CT scan, after 6.5 years of being NED the oncology letter reads “no measurable disease”. I was dx in Nov 2017 with stage 2b squamous cell LC and had an upper right sleeve lobectomy with 2 lymph nodes affected also. Clear margins.
Followed by 3 rounds of adjuvant chemo, Cisplatin/Vinorelbine which had to be stopped due to sepsis.
Every CT since August 2018 has said no evidence of disease on the letter and my oncologists words were “there’s nothing there”. I guess I’m worrying just about the terminology, does this mean there is something there but they can’t measure it or that the machine doesn’t detect anything?
Would be very grateful for any replies, I have spoken to the helpline but the guy was getting confused and thought I had breast cancer, spelt my name wrong and kept me talking for 20 minutes about how I felt when I only wanted a quick answer!
I thought it best to ask the experts……the ones coping with this disease and I wish you all so many good wishes on this horrible journey. Thank you,
