I had a CT Scan yesterday ... a few pains etc that we thought warranted another check.
I am now trying to decipher things like;
- low density sub centimetre liver lesion
- omentum & mesenteric nodules
- malrotation of the duodenum and related inferior elongation of the uncinate and the head of the pancreas ....
The report says these things haven't shown much change since the last scan (last July) ..... except they weren't on last year's report at all!!! mmmmmm..... (I am trying hard not to be concerned)
This statement
"if thought indicated, a routine surveillance ultrasound of the liver is recommended for further assessment"
has me thinking ..... YES! I want it followed up!! (I now have to wait until July 24th to see my surgeon as a follow-up ... yikes!!)
The statement I do like;
"there is no CT evidence of recurrent pseudomyxoma"
Yayyyyyy!!! gotta love that statement!! ......... Happy Dance time LOL!!
One thing is that the report is so much more detailed this time ... different Radiologist doctor reading it ... I normally get referred to the same one but he has "retired" now and this one was VERY interested in PMP ... he was very thorough and had trouble with the veins so took me down to ultrasound and used ultrasound guidance to insert the canular ...
He was very very nice & explained that CT Scans were not considered a good diagnostic tool for diagnosing PMP back in 2001 ..... Scans are so much more detailed now ... that is a comforting statement considering my PMP was a "surprise" during surgery!!
I will update once I find out more about the "dot point" findings ........
