Hi all. These are difficult times, and I hope everyone is doing well.
Last week, I made a 14 hour drive to MD Anderson in Houston. My level of confidence in my team here is not the best, so I decided to seek a second opinion.
I understand that every system and process is out of whack due to the pandemic, but I left the hospital feeling out of sorts as I was just dismissed after the testing. I left last Wednesday and have heard nothing from anyone other than the test results that were posted to my chart automatically.
I received the bone scan and labs last night. I have never had the tumor marker which was pulled in Texas checked before. It was quite elevated, but who knows what it was prior to this visit. The bone scan was clear. Then tonight, I received the report on the CT. The first thing it mentioned was an indeterminate liver nodule which could be "followed clinically." It mentioned other cysts and hemangiomas that had been seen previously. I am really, really concerned.
Can anyone share a similar experience? Am I just going to have to live with this question hanging over my head until the next scan? Ugh
Thank you for any insight and please be safe.
Andi
