Got an email about 10 minutes ago stating they finally uploaded my PET scan results onto Duke MyChart. Trying desperately to flick that damn devil off my shoulder. Now mind you, I am not an expert in the medical industry so some of it is like the teacher from Charlie Brown, "wah wah, wah wah wahhhh"..
Impression:
FDG AVID SUBCARINAL LYMPH NODE MAY REPRESENT MALIGNANCY.
RIGHT HILAR FDG AVIDITY IS LIKELY A LYMPH NODE WITH A MAXIMUM SUV OF 3.1, SLIGHLY ABOVE THE BACK OF UPTAKE.
UPTAKE SIMILAR TO BACKGROUND IN THE RIGHT LUNG BASE PLEURAL ABUTTING PULMONARY NODULE IS INDETERMINATE.
Again....all I hear is "Wah Wah Wah Wah Wahhhh"...all is see is "MAY represent malignancy". AND, if you look up Indeterminate it reads "not precisely determined or established; not fixed or known in advance."
So let's keep the prayers going...miracles happen every day!
Ashley sent this to me this morning and it helped to cheer me up :)
"Both faith and fear demand you to believe in something you cannot see. You choose." So true and yes, I choose faith, not fear.
