Yesterday’s CT scan

Sashay2020 profile image
48 Replies

Hello ladies. I had my mid course CT scan yesterday afternoon (two weeks after my 3rd infusion of Carbo Doxil ( Caelyx). An hour later, I received the usual cheery “New test results!” email. It took me a couple hours to find the courage to open the patient portal and read the report. Thankfully, it’s decent. My liver mets have shrunk and radiologist could not identify any new ones. Some peritoneal implants also shrank. I was really pleased that two larger lung nodules were unchanged and this time the radiologists did not seem concerned as they had been in the past about lung mets, instead focusing on mucus impaction in my lungs (bronchiectasis) which I have dealt with for years. So, I continue the fight and I am very grateful to you ladies who have offered encouragement, prayers, and kind words. Thank you!

Great news Sashay, unfortunately that combo didn't work for me, in fact things got a lot worse so I'm really pleased to see your good result. I'm currently on weekly Taxol which seems to be working. All the best Sue xx

Sashay2020 in reply tofendweller

Thanks Cheryl. I still feel a bit nervous as to whether the next three infusions will pit me in remission again. I’m meeting with oncologist tomorrow and plan to ask if I can postpone next week’s chemo for four to six weeks. I really need a break.

fendweller in reply toSashay2020

Lovely news Sashay. It must be really hard reading your report on an email!Pleased you have some nice sunshine and can get out and enjoy it xxx

Sashay2020 profile image
Sashay2020 in reply toHelvelyn

Thanks, Helvelyn. It was easier to print the report from the portal. I like to mark it with questions for my oncologist. He says it has taken a bit of getting used to having patients seeing the test results before he does. 🙂

Helvelyn in reply toSashay2020

Oh I see 😊That’s better then that you then have time to think of questions before seeing your oncologist. xx

Go Sashay! What good news. Have you got a little celebration/treat planned? xx

Sashay2020 in reply toMorini

Thanks, Morini. I was afraid to celebrate for fear that I will jinx myself. But that’s illogical. I think some Pinkberry frozen yogurt with toasted pecans and pomegranate syrup is in order. 😋
