<p>Hello all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My brother (with Cancer, as you probably recall) has been doing well. He has been having frequent tests to make sure the Cancer is held at bay, and here is the latest report:</p>
<p>___</p>
<p>Yesterday he had a CT scan, bloodwork, and an appointment with the oncologist. By the time he met with the Onc the radiologist had already written a report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The "chest" portion of the scan report:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>IMPRESSION:</p>
<p>1. WORSENING METASTATIC DISEASE.</p>
<p>2. NEW CLUSTERED NODULES LIKELY REPRESENTING GRANULOMATOUS INFECTION.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The report also says that the nodules in his lungs & his enlarged lymph nodes might be due to a fungal infection. </p>
<p>So, now we're hoping it's a fungal infection.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My brother is now going to meet with an infectious disease specialist and get a PET scan.</p>
<p>___</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also know that a recurrence would likely be deadly. We're just going to keep on hoping. Amazing thing is he is in better running shape than me, by a lot. He's been running 70 mpw and all at sub 8:00mpm pace!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Work day for me. Have a good one.</p>
<p> </p>
