Just returned from meeting g with radiologist who did my MRIdean radiation and he thinks my growth is just inflammation since the growth is in same segment as lesion radiated addition to fact that my marker is very low at “8” and it’s decreasing. I hope he’s right!!! Harvard educated so I do have a lot of confidence in him. Problems that led up to this: Hoag radiologists that read my CT and PET scans noted I was under chemo and radiation treatment, however they didn’t factor that “growth”COULD actually be from inflammation post radiation; this should have been mentioned ?? Of course follow up with radiation oncologist should have been mentioned. In addition, I got the idea if inflammation from radiation resolving itself within 3 weeks of last rad treatment (October 15) from AI internet search. My radiation oncologist said it can take up to 6 months; so a word of caution when doing those searches as AI posts the most populous answers.
and @markymarkfl maybe keep the cisplatin out!!
