The CAT scan showed no change in Chuck's enlarged lymph nodes (i.e, they aren't any bigger), and none of Chuck's other lymph nodes are showing any sign of abnormality.
Chuck also had a CA19-9 blood test, which is a tumor marker primarily for pancreatic cancer. It was slightly elevated. The other hospitals who have reviewed Chuck's information are of the opinion that the primary source is either pancreatic or lung cancer. However, there are still no tumors visible.
The plan is for Chuck to repeat the bloodwork, CAT scan, and chest x-ray in 7 weeks. In the meantime, Chuck seems to be keeping whatever it is from getting the upperhand!
