2 years out from lobectomy and wedge resection.

Posted by kenhorse @kenhorse, 3 days ago

As of January 31st, I am 2 years out from a radical prostatectomy.

As of April 4th, I am 2 years out from a right lower lobectomy and upper right wedge resection.

As of June 21st, I will be 2 years out from a thoracic duct ligation to fix a chylothorax that I developed a month out from my lung surgery.

As of today, my PSA remains undetectable and the results of my latest CT chest scan (done 1 week ago) are:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINDINGS:

No local tumor recurrence after right lower lobectomy and right upper lobe wedge resection.

Stable miniscule right basilar pleural fluid.

No new lung consolidation or left pleural effusion.

Stable left upper lobe subcentimeter ground glass pulmonary nodule on image 78 of series 4 that will be followed on future surveillance
exams. A few other left upper lobe sub-4 mm pulmonary micronodules are also stable.

No new suspicious pulmonary nodule or lung mass.

No new thoracic lymphadenopathy.

No other interval change since 11/23/2024. No new abnormality in the mediastinum, visible upper abdomen, chest wall or thoracic spine.

IMPRESSION:
No local tumor recurrence or metastatic disease. No interval change.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time of surgery, the pathology of both prostate and lung was Stage 1a with no lymph node involvement so I didn't undergo radiation nor chemo. Both were caught early and I am grateful for that!

Stay thc course!
