Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 , I am so sorry to hear the thyca has recurred. Bless your PCP for his aggressive actions! I really get very angry when I read about doctors who do not go after possible recurrance. Is the CAT scan for your lungs? With regard to how the thyca can be found in the next surgery, you might ask about ultrasound guided surgery. All of this does wear on the soul but the alternative is not very desireable. Keep us posted!
