I wanted to give you all an update on my stomach issues. The scans did not find any large masses, great news. They are now sending me to one of their Gastroenterologist, to repeat the colonoscopy and do an endoscopy with an ultrasound. The Oncologist is concerned that my markers are too high and that maybe something is being hidden in the stomach lining under all those polyps.
The chest CT scan shows that I have a few scattered calcified granulomas and thin-walled cysts in both lungs. There is also a interfissural lymph node in left lung.
The abdominal Ct scan shows a Duodenal diverticulum measuring 3.5 cm and sigmoid and rectum are collapsed, which limits evaluation of mucosal lesions.
The Pet scan has not been posted yet. It looks and sounds like I may need further investigation, for maybe some other issues.
I will probably have to go ahead and schedule the RTX infusion and have more appts. coming up for the stomach and colon.
I think I covered it all for now, hope all is well and please take care of yourselves. Thanks to all of you for caring!

Results so far seem to be benignly ambiguous. Hope it's nothing serious...
