Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 ok, just to start out, I KNOW no one here is my doctor... and that really it all depends on when I finally get full information... but it's been close to 16 days post scan- currently waiting for a new onco, and setting up appts, etc. and I am wondering if anyone has had a similar report! " The patient was scanned following oral ingestion of a capsule containing 3.8mCi I-131. The entire body was then scanned. Normal uptake in the stomach and bladder noted. Abnormal uptake in the left side of the neck, superior to and lateral to the expected location of the thyroid. Its possible that this represents salivary uptake but metastatic disease cannot be totally excluded. " that info came through on 10/11/02, and I've heard nothing else. What I am wondering (hoping for) I guess is some idea of what kind of salivary thing could be uptaking the I-131 to the left and front of where my thryoid used to be... just to temporarily make me feel better while I wait. -- Myke (-still remaining totally calm... just getting antsy) 6/99 Lumpectomy Pap CA - thyroglossal duct carcinoma? 7/99 TT no CA found in thyroid 11/99 29.9 mCi RAI - no post scan 2/00 Lumpectomy in my chest, begnin 4/00 Clean scan 10/02/02 scan - with suspicious uptake in the neck no final report yet 10/04/02 put back on .112 synthroid -despite my objections to wait for a report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
