Hi all,

Had my 6th month post radiation follow up CT. It is clear in the head, neck and tongue area but, there are spots on my lungs according to my oncologist. But since the scan only got the top of my lungs I have to have another CT and Pet scan next week just make sure I am fine. She said it could be an infection. But wants to make sure. Any one else ever had this happen?

Pam

Well the oncologist called me this afternnon while cooking diner for a family get together at my house. She told me the second ct and pet scan is showing cyst like absesses on my lungs. In the top she wants me to have a biopsy this wednesday she said 50/50 chance that it is cancer.

Has anyone had this happen after having tongue cancer and one lymphnode. She says the original areas are all negative.

Dear Pam,

Sorry to hear that you are going through this worry again. I quite often lurk on the American OCF website and it seems that quite a lot of people have things show up on lung scans that often arent anything to worry about.

Good thing is that your team are taking it seriously and doing a biopsy. I hope it turns out to be nothing to worry about.

Will be thinking of you

Hi Pam

I'm really sorry to hear about this latest development.

Try to stay positive, and remember that you're not alone in the battle.

Thinking of you Pam.
Hang in there and try to take each day as it comes til you know if there is anything serious to worry about. Easier said than done, I know.

Well tomorrow is the biopsy. I will be awake but sedated. It is a needle biopsy thru the chest she told me there are three cysts @ in the right and one in the left lung. The largest is @cm in the right. Has anyone else had this before?

Thanks,

Pam

Hi Pam

I've known of other people who've had needle biopsies for kidney and other problems, but I've never had one myself. One piece of advice I've always heard was to have someone with you--you're not going to be up to driving home afterward, and if any special instructions are given, it'll be easier for them to remember.

Hoping for the best!

Hi Pam, I didn't have a needle biopsy but good luck for tomorrow. Positive vibes from here too. Hagg.

Well I have squamous cell carcinoma in my lungs now! geez!

Dear Pam
I can't believe this terrible news. You must be reeling from the shock of it. I have no words, I'm sorry.
Please know that I am thinking of you and sending you all my love and positive vibes. It's might not be anything practical but I hope it gives you comfort to know that someone down here at the bottom of the world is rooting for.
Hang in there and as Trevor would say "Stay strong".
Keep us posted as to where you go from here.
Love
Deborah

Hi Pam, really sorry to hear that. I dont know what else to say but like Deborah says, stay strong and keep us updated. Take care, Hagg.

Hi Pam

Apart from "I am so sorry" I really don't know what to say. I'm still hoping for the best for you.

Long distance hug.

Hello Pam

So sorry to read your posting.

I have some info that might be of interest to you.

There is a German doctor who has been very successful in treating lung mets using a very special laser.

I am putting a link in so if you wish you can take a look there is quite a bit of info relating to patents quite a few from the USA.

Dr Rolle

I hope the above is of help, lots of other info on the net about him he is a bona fide expert on lung mets.

Wishing you all the best.

Kindest regards


Tony
