Yes, clear for cancer. The first of the last 2 CT scans showed fluid in the left lung and a small nodule in the right lung. The oncologists chose not to drain the fluid at the time.
The last PET scan also showed the small nodule in the right lung. However, the last CT scan made no reference to fluid in the left lung or the small nodule in the right lung. I felt some reference should have been made as to why neither was addressed in the 2nd CT. There were Another CT scheduled in September.
