2 Years of Tarceva
Today was my 3 month scan again. I feel like everything is going to be fine but these days are a little nerve racking. I asked them to inject the contrast slow again because it seems to help with the slight nausea . Below are the test results: ALL GOOD. I am truly blessed
Study Result
Narrative
CT CHEST AND UPPER ABD W, 11/7/2018 10:19 AM
CLINICAL INFORMATION: 54 years, Male with history of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma on
erlotinib. Assess for disease recurrence.
TECHNIQUE: Contrast enhanced chest and contrast enhanced abdomen CT. 120 mL of Omnipaque
350 contrast material were administered intravenously. Multiplanar reconstructions,
including MIP, MINIP and Slab images were reviewed.
COMPARISON: 8/8/2018 and prior.
FINDINGS:
CHEST:
LUNGS AND PLEURA: Stable post radiation changes. Stable bronchial wall thickening
consistent with chronic mild bronchitis.
Left hilar lesion is not substantially changed with the nodular component measuring 18 x 8
mm (series 3, image 45) compared to 18 x 9 mm prior exam.
No new concerning lesions, pleural effusions, or pneumothorax.
MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Cardiac size and great vessels are within normal limits. No large
pericardial effusion.
No mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy. Stable calcified paraesophageal lymph nodes.
Small hiatal hernia.
CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION: Mild.
CHEST WALL: No significant abnormality noted.
ABDOMEN: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology.
LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: No suspicious hepatic lesions or biliary ductal dilatation.
Cholelithiasis.
SPLEEN: Hypoattenuating lesions not substantially changed and favor benign etiology.
ADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.
KIDNEYS, URETERS: Multiple hypoattenuating lesions of bilateral kidneys are not
substantially changed inferior benign etiology.
PANCREAS: No significant abnormality noted.
RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: No significant abnormality noted.
BOWEL, MESENTERY: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for GI
pathology.
No gross abnormalities noted.
BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.

0.7 x 1.8 cm on prior (5/9/2018) (Image 40, Series 208
