Not for sure exactly what my cancer doctor was talking about today

[KS Toronado]

Was gonna have him write it down but got sidetracked. He was saying some number
in healthy people is 2 and below, prior to my auto-immune treatments I was a 24, now
I'm down to a 6 and talked like I might be ready for surgery to remove the tumor.

So he scheduled a new CT scan for Monday and Wednesday for the Ear Nose & Throat
doctor to put his scope inside me and see if the lymph node has shrunk away from my
carotid artery.

Anyone know what he was talking about and is this a really good thing? Thanks, Ks

2. You could call the office and ask to speak to the nurse.

Tell them you had a brain glitch in the last appointment and got
mixed up on what the recent lab results meant. The one where your number
dropped from 24 to 6. Ask if that is good news and what it means.

3. WOW, why didn't I think of that? Thanks

doing that right now.

4. That way you get it straight from the doc's office.

5. LOL, my phone quit

Between the cancer center and my brother, soon as I hit call up pops a call ended message.
But I can text him, so told him to call me.

6. Yes good.

It is best if it comes from the doc or his nurse.

8. They never called me back last Friday Shazz

And it kind of slipped my mind, called this morning and they just called back. Nurse said it
was my SUV stats but she didn't know what SUV stood for, other than it had to do with the
imaging of the last CT scan they had, not the new one I had Monday. She was unaware if
the nymph node had receded away from the carotid artery, I should find out next week.

I hope you get a favorable answer about that lymph node soon.
