Scan results are back

Scan results are back from CT Scan a few weeks ago. Results are mixed. To the Radiologist the view is that the cancer has returned in two places - one being in the collar bone area where I have been operated before and where they could not get all the bits - this appears to the real danger spot and we are setting up an appointment with a neuro-surgeon to see what if anything can be done there. The other locus is elsewhere and the radiologist suggests that it is simply more of the same old same old while the oncologist disagrees and says that as they are under 1 cm in size they may just be normal tissue.

What does all this mean for my continuing survival?

Buggered if I know.

All I can tell is that I have been asked to get an MRI done and then to see my oncologist after this in six weeks time. So, figuring that he does not want to waste his time and does want to be paid, at WORST I have at least six weeks left - at best, a lot longer.

If anyone wants to know more -I can read you the report and you can prove how smart YOU are by telling me what it means.

Salut
