Most of the soft tissue in the area on the scan today is the distal esophagus.<br />
The coronal images are below.<br />
Here is the previous for comparison.<br />
This is about as much as I could hope for. I await my visit to Dr Flam next Tuesday at<br />
which time I expect him to stop all chemotherapy and we can plan some radiation<br />
treatment to the area.<br />
The CT scan also shows no evidence of new disease.<br />
I don't want to get my hopes up too high as I have been disappointed before, but I am<br />
very optimistic.<br />
I also saw Richard Weinberg today about my hearing loss. He was very accommodating,<br />
squeezing me in between his regular appointments. They did a more complete<br />
audiogram on me and I have significant high frequency hearing loss. He says a hearing<br />
aid would not help at this time and feels that some additional hearing loss would be worth<br />
the price if I need additional Cisplatin.<br />
