Cleveland Clinic and Oncology Radialogy Visit

Weeellll,

It looks like Cleveland Clinic will be getting my visitation on 27 April 2009. SO, it will be a day of unknown exams and consultations with unknown number of Doctors. Good thing that I have taken the day off from work and I'm getting paid for it to boot :) My Chemotherapy Treatments have stopped at this point and I am a little concerned with this, but trust Dr. Schaefer's expertise here.

I saw that Physician Assistance at the Oncology Radiology Office and I saw the last PET Scan and she agreed with the report and it seems that the largest lesion grew just 2 cm from 2.2cm to 4.2cm. This lesion (nodule) is located in the righ lung base posterdoermedialy. I will be making backup copies of, in case they get "misplaced" by any medical personnel and all I have to do it bring up the copies and burn them again. Yes, I know to err is human, to really mess things up using a computer adds to the problem, LOL.

Diarrhea is still on my mind, since I've been dealing with this a little more in the past weeks. Usually, I get a loose stool and it clears up, but lately it has been diarrhea, which I've been able to control with the combination of Paregoric and Imodium Tablets; plus watching what I eat seems to be helping out. Up until today I've been doing pretty good, but of coarse I've had a re-occurrence and now I'm wondering what the heck is causing this to happen, I'm not going to buy into the line of diagnosis that it is viral, since this is not be the root of this tonight. Monitoring myself and the progress of the diarrhea will help me to overcome the problem and get it under control again.

Well, I'm getting tired and I've provided a lot of information already for everyone to digest, so I'll end this here and see what happens in the coming days and weeks.
