My oncologist said the spot on my lung remained unchanged and perhaps had gotten smaller (although the measurement was taken a different way this time). Of course he wants to equivocate about what it might or might not be. He said just because it hasn't grown doesn't mean it isn't cancer (Gees Thanks Mr. Glass 1/2 empty). Last time the spot was 5mm this time the spot was 2 mm and the radiologist report said it might be associated with a blood vessel (what ever that means). They also found another spot that had calcified (which is a good thing). The oncologist said he wasn't sure what to do next. I said how about we just wait until I get my PET scan in Jan. If the spot has grown, then it will show on the PET. He agreed because he said there was no reason to expose myself to more radiation with additional CT scans in the mean time. The risk of more radiation out weighed the benefit given that the spot wasn't growing fast. He said if he had seen my CT scan without knowing that I had cancer he would think it is normal.

So the bottom line from my perspective is there is nothing to worry about. I am going to believe that I am cured and go about living my life as such. I feel great emotionally and my body is getting stronger each week. Derek and I are going to celebrate this weekend. We just haven't figured how
