In my last post I mentioned an upcoming CT as part of the surveillance for mesothelioma. The scan showed two nodules in the intercostal areas on the left side of my chest. My mesothelioma doctor said that they are indeed mesothelioma. They are too small and dangerous to treat at this time (dangerous in the sense that treating them now may do more harm than good). We’ll look at them again in six months. If they don’t change everything is good. If they do change we’ll need to formulate a new plan. On the plus side, the mesothelioma in my abdomen and right pleural cavity have been treated and there is no sign of recurrence at either location, even after many years. What’s next? Better not to ask, right?
