As you might remember, Jim first had a PET scan in September. Among other things, the results showed a small nodule in his right lung and possibly in the left side of his neck. Jim had another PET Scan on 11/10 to see if there has been any shift in these two areas since surgery. On Monday 11/17 Jim met with oncologist Adil I. Daud at UCSF to go over the results of Jim’s second PET scan. We learned that the nodule in Jim’s lung has increased in size. Dr. Daud does not seem overly concerned since the nodule is not behaving like a Melanoma and the size increase (from .8 to 1 cm) is such a small increment. Nevertheless, Jim will get a biopsy of the nodule before beginning Interferon to rule out Melanoma and Lung Cancer. (It could be a fungi or an infection of some sort)
I’ll keep you posted when we have more information. Thank you for everything.
