Blood test done on 13 Dec 2010 - cancer marker CA153 is 26.3.
As I had not had another CTscan in recent months, this scan was compared to the one done on 7 Jul 2008.
There is
interval appearance of isodense (same) to hyperdense (more) nodules in right chest wall, suggestive of metastases - I have new nodules on my right chest wall;
interval resolution of bilateral pleural effusions - meaning no more fluid in lining of lungs;
interval appearance indeterminate tiny hypodense focus in segment 2 of liver - there is still nodules in my liver, and there is one that has grown from 0.9cm to 1.1cm
largely stable extensive osteolytic (loss of calcium from bone due to cancer) / sclerotic skeletal lesions - stabilized, there is no new spread to the bones.
Chest x-ray, done on 20 Dec 2010 when I was admitted, showed several thoracic and lumbar vertebra show end plate deformities, likely suggestive of bony metastasis. - These were the old ones from before.
The CTscan and X-ray results recommend further action.
