Hmmm, funny thing - until I just now read my entry from August, I forgot that my doctor said that I wouldn't need a CAT scan unless my bloodwork warranted the need, and I ended up calling their office a few weeks before yesterday's appointment asking about a CAT scan appointment. I guess I confused them, because they went ahead and scheduled one. The scan was last week.
Yesterday at my 6-month checkup, my bloodwork was great. However, they're looking at a lymph node deep in my chest that had changed since my last CAT scan 6 months ago. Now I'm scheduled for a PET next Wednesday morning so they can get a better idea of what's up. "Luckily" I have a 1-year-old PET to compare it against. Since my bloodwork was good, how bad can it be, right? On the other hand, if I hadn't had the CAT scan, then what?
This cancer business is pretty tricky, and it's knocking me around again. It's once again lingering around every single thought, sitting right beside my daily routines, reminding me with my waking thoughts and making me wonder as I fall asleep. It took more than two years to get it out of my consciousness on a daily basis, and just like that it's back. Damn!

Thanks for putting this info out there. Today I was told by my doctor he can't decide whether I should just be monitored very closely or if I should be prescribed with a year of interferon. Either decision scares the crap out of me. I really appreciate that you put all this out there. It's already an incredible comfort just being able to read someone else's experience. Thank you so much.

Hi,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Mesothelioma Center at Asbestos.com. I was wondering if you would be interested in our organization contributing an article about mesothelioma cancer for your site. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that appears in the lining of the lungs, heart and stomach. Our goal is to bring awareness to this disease and prevent future cases by educating the public about the dangers of asbestos. Additionally we work 1-on-1 with individuals and their families to help them find local doctors, treatment centers and support groups. We have a team of knowledgeable writers that would love to write original content about the topic for your website and its visitors.
If this is something you would be
interested in or if you have any questions please let me know. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Mike Postorino
