Esophagectomy surgery: Want to know what to expect
Esophageal Cancer | Last Active: Mar 22, 2023 | Replies (95)Comment receiving replies
Well, I had my 3 month CAT scan and the nodule has increased in size-only 1 millimeter-but still. And it says something about a nodule on my bronchial and lymph node. I have sent a letter to my dr requesting he explain the results to me, cuz there are other things going on also. He has not gotten back with me and it's been almost a week. I'm starting to get really agitated with this dude.

Hello @loribroda
From what I understand, you sent your letter a week ago asking for a discussion about your CT scan results. Is that correct?
If it were me, I would send another message, through the patient portal, asking again and give the doctor an option to either talk to you or to refer you to someone who will discuss this with you. You should, of course, follow up in a way that is comfortable for you .
Always remember, it is a patient's right to seek a second opinion, even if it is from another medical center. With electroic records and copies of CT scans that you can pick up, it is relatively easy for one medical center to evaluate results.
