During my discharge I was given a CD of the CT scan done of my abdomen. Being the curious cat that I am, I loaded it into my computer, as I've never seen a real scan, just what they show on TV. There were 2 options, the complete scan, and the quick review. I first opted for the complete scan, but when I realized it would take about 30 minutes to down load, I canceled, and switched.
First up was the written Dr's report. I read through it, and found the description of the NODULES. There are several in my left lung, and one in my right. The largest is almost the size of the tumor I had in my breast! I read on and came to the Dr's impressions. He, not knowing my history said they were metastatic tumors, and my history needed to be checked for corroboration.
I'm scared. It looks like it is back. The thing is, if it has had time to grow to nearly the size of my original tumor, then it was (my opinion here)most likely there last fall when I went in for my first follow up appointment. I was surprised at the time that the only tests done then were a blood test, and repeat mammogram. I expected to have the full battery that was done the year before repeated. I think that, if they had been, this would have been discovered then. I intend to bring this up with my oncologist. It is water under the bridge now, but I'm scared, and angry. No one ever said I was cured, but I was sure I had more than a year before I needed to worry about it returning.
