Nodes of Fun!
I am in a holding pattern until we see the next Signatera assay and the next CT scan. This is not an easy place to be, because there is a difference between waiting passively and waiting with purpose.
I am using this time to research possible next steps, including what the enlarged hilar nodes seen on my last scan might mean, how they should be watched, and when they might need more evaluation. I do not want to overreact, but I also do not want to drift.
My goal is to arrive at the next appointment better prepared, with clearer questions, a stronger understanding of my options, and a plan I can review with my oncology team.
