CT Scan

I had a follow up CT scan on December 12th. I got a call from my pulmonologist's office yesterday with the results. I was told, and I quote, " There was nothing of any concern in your scan." I had a nodule last March that was 19mm and had shrunk to 9mm in June. This follow-up CT scan shows nothing. So, I am in the clear for now. I won't get another scan for a year and have a follow-up doctor visit in April. I will continue my routines and do my best to not have any flare ups in the meantime. It is always nice to get some good news for a change. Everyone have a great Christmas and a Wonderful New Years! Stay Safe, stay warm, and God Bless!

  1. Hi Dminor - wow - this is great news from a good report!
    I know how you feel, having been in similar circumstances with diagnostic results the last few years.
    Enjoy them (the results!). These types of results can sometimes be elusive, especially as we wait and the months (and sometimes years), go by.
    I can actually imagine your joy at hearing this - the follow-up CT scan shows NOTHING!!
    Keep doing what you're doing, enjoy everything you can as time moves ahead. With the holidays in our immediate future - I wish you the very same. Enjoy the holiday season with your family and friends!
    Warmly,

    1. ,
      Just a quick thank you Leon! Your replies are always so upbeat, and I appreciate them. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

    2. Hi again, Dminor - thank you for your kind words! You are truly a valued participating member here in our online community. I do hope to 'see' you here over the holidays (if you so choose) - I plan to be around keeping an eye on the activity here.
      Have a safe, healthy and happy holiday season, as we move towards the New Year!
      Warmly,

  2. Great news, ! My doctor monitors some nodules that I have. I think it is more common for people with COPD. I know quite a few friends who have the same. It's still a relief though when you hear no changes or shrinking. I'm so happy for you! Best, Jackie (Moderator)

    1. Congrats! So glad to hear it!

      1. Hey there, ! I took some time off for the holidays and am getting caught up on things here. What happy news to come back to! I can imagine that your spirits are up in this new year, and with good reason. Celebrating with you! 😁 Hugs, Melissa (copd.net team)
