My CT Scan Results
Hello everyone! I am feeling scared because of the result of my CT scan from last week. It was noted that there was an increased soft tissue fullness in the superior mediatinum prevascular space area. This was never mentioned in my previous scans. My liver mets is still stable. I am waiting for a PET scan appointment. My onc told me he does not like to see this type of results.
What am I doing wrong? I have changed my diet completely and it looks like I am having progression even with Herceptin weekly. I haven't seen much of the mediastinum area mentioned on this board. Is this the same as lung mets? Will this respond to chemo? My onc mentioned navelbine and gemzar but he said he will check my films with the radiologist further. Does anyone have an advice to offer? I will meet with my onc tomorrow.
My last chemo was between 7/2005 - 12/2005 with Taxotere/ Carboplatin once every 3 weeks and weekly Herceptin.
Thanks.
Helen
