Another CT Scan

Last month when I was given the results of a recent PET scan, my Oncologist shared with ne that data that indicated there was a tumor in my lung and while there was nothing about which to be alarmed, he recommended another CT just of that area in about 6 weeks.  My first thought was that nothing to worry about does not reconcile with another CT in 6 weeks, but I said nothing.

Today, I am having that CT and in a way I like CT's because I can eat and drink anything that I want right up to the moment I walk into the scanning room, at least theoretically but I would suspect that once you start drinking that tasteless liquid for a hour prior to the scan, they would prefer that you ingest nothing else into your system.

Depending upon the results of today which I will not know about until the end of the this month, there could be a biopsy performed but nothing was discussed after that...   but there are not really that many options out of do nothing, surgery, and/or treatment.

Lucky me it was caught early...   Strange how the tumor grew so fast in 3 months since my previous scan did not pick it up.
