....And the excitement continues

 CT Scan results are back

So this was another "exciting" night....

Spine

I skipped right to the part involving my spine and it looks like good news: 

"There is a linear calcification of the ligamentum flavum at the level of T7 vertebra measuring approximately 4.6 x 16 mm. There is a smaller focal ligamentum flavum calcification at the level of T6 measuring 1 x 2 x 1 mm."

So this is fine and is related to my skiing accident waaaay back when or some other back injury I accumulated along the way....

But I missed the section: "Other Findings" which put found something in my lungs...

Lungs

I didn't catch it but Elizabeth saw it and had a very concerned look on her face when she read the report.  The report said I have:  "There are scattered bilateral calcified lung granulomas." There are scattered bilateral calcified lung granulomas." Which after having a Glioma anything ending in "oma" doesn't sound good.  Looking this up it is much less ominous than it sounds.  The granuloma sounds like a natural part of the body fighting off infections.  The calcification however is a bit more than standard operating procedure for fighting off the infection.

The term "scattered" doesn't help me much though....how scattered are we talking about?  2% of my lung area has scattered granulomas or are we looking at closer to 40% or higher?  I will ask some questions and see if I can get the official pictures.
