Re: Re: Len & CT scan question

[Guest guest]

Ingrid, that is great news, yes, what a wonderful xmas present for you and your

family!!

The onc agreed to do this scan right after chemo and then I am going to have one

of those thermography scans which picks up more than the ct or pet scan. In

fact, after I do the first one, I may just invest in myself and have one done

every 3 or 6 months.

love ya'll ~~ donna

Donna, My onc does also not want to do CT scans. He just checks blood

work every three months. Of course last June when my CEA went up they

did the Pet and CT scans. Had surgery and now am doig fine.

I went to see the Onc this morning. My CEA has dropped since last

month. Onc told me that if it was caused by another tumor the CEA

would of gone up not down. So that was my Christmas preasent!!!!

I too asked about another scan. He told me we will do one this

summer one year after last CT scan.

Also asked if I am to do a colonosciopy every year.(Just had one)

He said no. Wait and have another in three years. I wonder if they

need to keep me checked more often. Guess we all go through this.

Hope everyone is having good days and feeling the Christmas Spirit!

Love, Ingrid
