Ruth also has tiny nodules showing on CT scan that they say is probably past or present infection. Sometimes happens with chemo I guess. They say no sign of cancer, thank goodness, but they have postponed her port removal, I suppose on that small chance that it is something else. Ugh. Hate the wondering. She will be scanned again in July.
