Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 On top of everything else, today I got a letter telling me the results of the CT scan I had a couple of weeks ago. The good news is that it was negative for lung cancer. The potentially bad news is that it showed a 2.4 x 1.9 cm nodule in the left breast, adjacent to surgical clips. I just had a mammogram last month, so apparently a CT scan shows more detail than a mammogram. I called the breast center and talked to the technician who read my mammogram, and she said that it was probably just normal scar tissue from the lumpectomy and radiation that I had last year. But if they will send them a copy of the scan, they will be glad to look at it to make sure. I haven't heard back from the call I made about that but will follow up. I am really not worried about it. My RA is my main problem right now, as usual. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Sorry about this new scare Sue. I hope the technician is right.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I hope it turns out to be nothing and that you don't become worried about it while you wait to find out, Sue.

I hope you did reschedule the CT scan. But if you didn't you should do things that help your body detoxify, i.e. coffee enema, dry skin brushing, Epsom salt baths, etc., and ensure you are taking niacin along with vitamin B complex which helps your body get rid of radiation.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Bee - I did reschedule :-) And talked to my urologist. He said that he talked to the radiologist who thinks that we can see what we need to see via an ultra sound. I read your thoughts on ultra sound yesterday. Do you see this as a 'lesser evil' kind of way to diagnose than the CT scan? Thank you! Stacey > > +++Hi Stacey. I hope you did reschedule the CT scan.

Do you have pain, fullness and other symptoms that make you believe you may have a mass in that area? Have you done coffee enemas, which would clear out the bowel, if that was the problem?
