10 Months, All Clear

[mrb1980]

Latest blood work:

AFP = 1.6
B-HCG = Not detected

CXR negative also.

When I went in for my x-ray last week, the tech told me that TC forms very distinctive signatures on chest x-rays. The lung metastases are almost perfectly round and are called "cannonballs", according to the tech. Has anyone heard of this? Just wondering. She said that a recent patient had these in his lungs.

First congratulations on the great follow-up. I don't really think that's the medical term but my sons onc called what Lance had "golf balls". My guess from your comment, and our doctors, is that the lung tumors are round. I'm going to have to check on that one.

Congrats on the check up and for getting to 10 months, my husband's tumors in the lungs were round also, they described them as little spots. April

Glad to hear you got the all clear!
