Derek's tumours CT scan - Oct 2009
A few slices from my latest CT scan, taken at the end of September 2009.
I've circled the biggest lung tumours metastasized from my original colon cancer (which was removed by surgery in mid-2007). You can see the one in my upper left one and two (one right behind the other) in my lower left lung.
There are six more tumours, all smaller, not easily visible in this view. I'm not a radiologist, so I couldn't readily distinguish them from regular lung matter and other tissue. So now we can all see what I'm dealing with.
These tumours have all grown slightly since I started treatment with cediranib in November 2008. To my untrained eye, the view doesn't look that different from the last time I saw my scan in December of that year, which is fairly good as far as I'm concerned.
