From the CT scan it looks like I’m in stage 1A of the disease. That’s pretty much the best result I could have gotten, so grats me! I’ll post pics of the CT scan if I can get my hands on ’em.
Findings:
Chest: There is right subclavian lymphadenapathy, measuring approximately 4 x 1.6 cm (2/108). This is incompletely imaged on this study. Please see CT of the neck from 6/24/05 for accurate extent of neck lymphadenapathy.
Visualized portions of the thyroid are normal.
No mediastinal hilar or axillary lymphadenopathy.
Heart size is normal. No pericardial effusion. Aorta and great vessels are normal.
Lungs are clear. No effusion or pneumothorax.
Abdomen: There is a punctate hypodensity in the dome of the liver, too small to characterize by CT but statistically most likely a simple cyst. Liver is otherwise normal. No intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. Hepatic vessels opacify norally. Gallbladder is normal.
Spleen, pancreas, adrenals, kidneys, stomach and proximal small bowel are normal.
No retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenapathy.
Distal small bowel is normal. Bladder is unremarkable.
There are two 6mm mesenteric lymph nodes (2/144) at the level of the aortic bifurcation anterior to the right psoas muscle, which are nonpathologic by CT criteria.
No iliac or inguinal lymphadenopathy.
No free intraperitoneal air or fluid.
No lytic or blastic bony lesions.
Yeah! Sweet news, on both counts. 🙂
But your bladder is unremarkable!
Yeah. That\’s my new favorite insult. "Your bladder is unremarkable!"
