September's Lung X-Ray

On September 16th I was scheduled for a chest x-ray.  The current pattern of periodic examinations, for monitoring purposes, consists of a CT scan, a chest x-ray two months later, followed by another CT scan two months after that, and then back to the chest x-ray. Hopefully, this is a pattern that we will be able to continue, as long as A.T. (Alien Tumor) behaves himself and doesn't reappear.

Since the radiology report was brief this time, I'll share the whole report because some readers might find the lingo kind of interesting.  This summary was provided by Dr. David Coy, Radiologist.  He was also comparing the 9/16 results with 7/21/08 and 11/19/07.

Findings:  Lungs are clear.

No pleural fluid.

Heart size and mediastinal contours are normal.

No acute osseous abnormalities.

Impression:  No evidence of metastatic disease in the chest or acute cardiopulmonary abnormality.

The next CT scan is on November 24th.
