Good Results

Good results with some uncertainty.... but overall should be good news....

Bone scan
Intensed tracer uptake seen on right 3rd and 6th ribs... may be due to post traumatic op changes (chestwall resection with removal of two ribs 2nd & 5th rib which is negative for ca) or it may be metastasis...

No abnormalities seen in the rest of the body.

CT Scan
Four new nodules seen in the left breast.... suspicious of multicentic breast ca... ultrasound or MRI suggested... But ultrasound was already done prior to the ct scan... only one lump was found with some scarring (mum have surgeries to remove benign lumps before)... I wonder is it the scarring that show up in the scan... but however the findings was done with comparison with the last CT scan done in nov last year.... if its scarring then it should have show up in the last ct scan also... but this new ct scan says its a new finding... but still the ultrasound did not mention the nodules.... is ct scan or ultrasound more accurate?

Left lung base show something but was indeterminate.... may be due to scarring....

Dr conclusion is that nothing in both scans says we shouldnt go for the operation for local treatment... so will still go ahead with the left mastectomy on monday...

So should I be happy with the results? Yes.... I should be right?

Mum was super happy.... even though still need to go for surgery.... she is not afraid... she told me this is her birthday present.... :)

I guess we have to be more short sighted... we should not look too far from now... at least there is treatment available..... mum is still a candidate for surgery means its good news... I should not think too much....
