The Radiologist sent back the report stating that "there was significant improvement in the retroperitoneal,mesenteric and retrocrural lymphaddenopathy from the last CT scan of 3-11-10. The nodes currently do not demonstrate increased metabolic activity." That was good news because that means there are no active cancer cells left in the lymph nodes.
The other side of the news was not so good. It showed inflammation in the pelvic region with an area of encapsulated fluid in the posterior cul-de-sac and inflammatory changes in the pelvic fat. Her suspicion is that it was due to a "walled- off perforation related to diverticulitis".
She said that there was also an ovoid mass in the left side that also demonstrated increased metabolic activity and had increased in size since the previous CT scan. She suggested further testing.
