After some difficulty and persistence I managed to get hold the radiologist’s report for the CT scan that was performed last week. It is not happy reading, although of course we already know the main conclusions from the consultation with the oncologist that I have already reported.

Not so good CT scan
6, May 2008 · Leave a Comment
Yesterday’s CT scan showed some quite significant growth of the tumors when compared with the last scan in October 2007. There are also a certain amount of spreading to new sites in the left lung which now shows several small spots something in the order of 1 mm diameter.
The original primary lung tumor has almost doubled in size when compared with the last scan. The mass in the right kidney has also significantly increased in size and it is now thought that this may be the source of the increasing discomfort I have been feeling in my lower back. The scan does not show any significant indications of cancerous activity at the 12th rib site of the original tumor that led to diagnosis in December 2006.
