      Hey everyone. I just got my radiology report from a CT I had done on Wednesday. Good news is that the tumor in my upper left axila (lymph node) has shrunk from 3.3cm to 2.2cm from with yervoy or radiation or both. Bad news is there is a 5.4cm platelike mass in the apex of my left lung. The notes say it can either be signs of matastasis or it may be caused by the radiation done to my upper left axila above my lung. Has anyone had experience with a mass or imflination of the lung from radiation? I am nervous but meet with Onc tomorrow to go over results.
