F/U report from Dec’23 SBRT on right lung: Lower pleural parenchymal nodule has reduced from 1.7cm to 6mm. Middle lobe shows multiple small micro nodules < 2mm. Upper mass abnormality has decreased from 1.8cm to 1.3cm with stellate abnormalities and a linear visceral pleural tail. No lymphadenopathy or effusions. The scans did show hypodense areas within the iliac bones bilaterally. Follow Up PetScan in 3 months. dga

Hi Dave @dave56pa, These reports are often difficult to interpret without a clinical background. The reduction in the primary nodules is great news. I'm assuming that you've had a chance to discuss the results with your oncologist. Did they think the other micro modules were anything concerning, possibly irritation from the radiation? How are you feeling about watching and waiting, or as some like to call it the 'active surveillance' approach?
