> "Incidentalomas"

Good word for it. We were a bit worried about something that showed up my my mum's scans, as if an inoperable tangerine-sized lung tumour wasn't a big enough problem. It was a round dot about the size of a pea on her adrenal gland that lit up like crazy in contrast dye. Now, that as you probably know was a worry because oh shit, lymphatic system involvement, that's going to spread like crazy.

But after two years of immunotherapy, and about six years after being detected while the lung cancer is gone, the pea is still there, still as bright as ever, neither getting bigger nor smaller.

No-one is in a hurry to poke at it and see what it is, just in case that turns out to be a mistake.

89 this year and at least got to see her grandchildren start primary school, so good work from your lot and the oncologists!

Now I know it's an "incidentaloma" :-)
