Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Have not talked about what has been happening the past week with me but will update everyone now. When the ONC did my last CEA count they found it had risen slightly. This led to a Cat Scan as well as a Pet Scan. Everything was normal in my bowels. But they found a lung nodule. Well I saw the surgeon today. They are going to remove the nodule next Monday. They are not sure if it is cancer or not. The Pet Scan did not pick it up as cancer. It is very small. Only 1CM. About the size of a pencil eraser. The surgeon said he is going to treat this as if it is mestisized cancer unless he finds different. He said it is a 50/50 chance. If it is cancer it is at a very treatable stage from what he said. What he plans on doing is go in between my ribs and remove it and part of my lung. It is in the bottom lobe area. Needless to say I am terrified!!!! Cried my heart out this afternoon. I feel so wonderful since the chemo is over. How could I have cancer again? I have not had any sympthoms other then the rising CEA. Would like to hear from someone who has gone through this. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
