Radiotherapy?

Hi everyone 😊

Because I have not one doctor say with any certainty that my nodules are cancerous, except that I once had lung cancer, I have opted to wait and have one more CT Scan at the end of October. .....and may the Powers be on my side. Have an easy weekend all my lovely peeps😉😄🤗🎈💎Bev, the other one or Spicy fruit (I love that!!)😄😄

Perhaps the best way to go, after all radiation itself can actually cause cancer. Which is why I opted to forego my last quarterly CT Scan and go straight into 6 monthly checks, which is due two weeks today and will only be having an X-Ray, which is a lower radiation exposure than a CT Scan.

Just a reminder to people that 2 CT Scans in a year gives the same maximum radiation count that an EU nuclear worker is allowed to receive.

Good morning 2greys☕🍳🥓😊

That was also my problem, all these endless CTs and nowhere near the terrible news I kept waiting for. I am glad now about my decision. I am hoping for the best. I hope you're well and enjoying the weather, wherever you are. Great weekend😊🎈🌷

Hi there I too had a nodule after my op ( LVRS) in Oct 2018 , they found it in Jan 2019 .They monitored it for 3 months then another CT scan showed it had grown and it was probably cancerous but they felt it was slow growing , so left me for another 3 months to see if had grown more .I went back in July another scan and miracles do happen , it has disappeared .They showed me the scan from 3 months ago ,then this latest one .I couldn't believe it no trace at all so please don't think the worse especially as you have had cancer. I'm wishing you good luck and keep us informed .

Big hugs as you will need them and love .

Babs ♥️♥️
