Ruth also has been told she has tiny nodules; they said there is no sign of cancer, and that they think it's prior or current infection that can sometimes happen from chemo. They have, however, postponed getting her port out until a followup scan in July, so I suppose there's that tiny possibility, ugh.
She also had rads tho the nurse didn't mention in her telephone call that that could also be the source. I have put in a call to find out which side these nodules are on.
