Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 You know I think CT scans show a lot of errors. They told me I had had a huge ovarian mass....from the CT scan...when in fact it was coming from my uterus....then it did not even pick up another tumor....one that was easily felt. My surgeon told me CT scans....from his experience has a lot of errors and he doesn't put much faith in them. The other thing just because you have a tumor does not mean you have cancer. I wonder if they took radom ct scans of people that had no health problems and did a ct scan...what would show up. My brother who is very healthy had something in his lung years ago.....then it went away.....so who knows. > > ...the results are, no mets below the chest. Then on Tuesday, the cancer has moved to your chest? Is it even possible that it could move that fast? > > I'm a little paranoid. I was in the hospital, as I reported a couple weeks ago, and the CT scan showed nothing in my chest. But Tuesday I developed a really bad cough and other symptoms that included loss of appetite, vomiting, shortness of breath, etc. > > It's been a week and I'm feeling a little better for the most part, but still have the cough (lesser degree). I've had pneumonia before and it did feel like pneumonia. > > I was reading a very sad story of a man with NHL dx'd by tumor in his chest and pneumonia like symptoms, then a cough developed because of the chemo (torn colon sent bacteria through body). > > I just started wondering if its even possible that my condition changed so quickly from Friday to Tuesday. I'm taking colloidal silver and IP6 among other things so I'm working on it anyway, but I do find it hard to believe it would move that fast. I'm thinking its more than likely an infection I picked up while in the hospital. > > Any thoughts? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 What is the difference between Tumor and Cancer? I thought they are the same and interchangeable.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Not all tumors are cancer, many are benign. And not all cancers create tumors. ar > > What is the difference between Tumor and Cancer?
