Today we visited Dr Zenda, who is my radiologist. He has a very different character than dr Namikawa, who is more reserved, and usually gives us a lot of information from different angles until we deeply understand. The same is the case this time, and he gave us a clear picture of where we stand.
Dr Zenda’s answer: the nose and sinus area is under control. Aspiration pneumonitis is a candidate for the spots in the right lung. These usually fade after 1-2 weeks. Another CT scan is required after 3 months to confirm the real origin of the spots. The chance is 50/50 that it’s a new tumor. Problems after proton beaming occur usually within 6 months. Stable treatment is assumed after 1-2 yrs like in my case.
So my confidence is restored, and serene calmness has returned. I am aware that such events increase my self confidence, as the next time I will remember and will be less worried. Trust and hope are intertwined, and lead to confidence that all will be fine in the end.
Time for a beer and a holiday!
