Hi.
I think, somewhere, but I cant find it, that your fella had a CT scan which showed nodules on his lungs. You were a bit concerned about these.
It rang bells with me. I dug out a copy of my CT scan it mentioned 'a 6mm nodule in the upper lobe of my right lung and numerous tiny nodules in both lung fields which were indeterminate' ???
It mentioned that my oesophagus appeared collapsed???
It mentioned that some of the bowel loops appeared collapsed. There also appear to be some changes of divertcular disease. Possibility of focal lesions/abnormalities cannot be exluded in the unprepared colon. Clinical correlation is advised???
It mentioned scattered lytic looking areas in pelvic bones and the femoral. These are indeterminate???
My CT scan read as bad as the last MOT on my clapped out car. 😁
Soon after I had a bone scan which showed mid cervical spine activity consistent with degenerative change??? But fortunately concluded no scintigraphic features of skeletal metastatic disease.
Three years later, I've heard nothing about the lung nodules or the colon lesions. I'm hoping they are not cancerous.
I've still not been told what the holes or lytic areas in my bones were.
I've googled lung nodules they are common and usually benign. I've not researched the colon problem, but recently had a bowel cancer 'through the post' test, which came back negative.
I'm putting the bone problems, which sometimes ache like hell, as some sort of arthritis.
As for my collapsed oesophagus, I'm still eating and drinking okay.
I'm struggling enough with confirmed PCa, to push for follow ups on other likely disorders. 😁
The only reason I've posted this is to warn others that CT scans, aren't limited to prostate problems. They can reveal a myriad of other possible health issues.
