The CT scan I originally posted is NOT the one that I received...and does have the info on the LUNG.... here goes:
June 27, 2012 CT of chest ==== the other was of the pelvis (which I didn't realize...duh!)
CLINICAL STATEMENT: Colon Cancer
TECHNIQUE: Multialice helical sections were obtained from the thoracic inlet to the lung bases without intravenous contrast administration.
RADIATION DOSE (DLP): 338 - mGy-cm
COMPARISON: April 1, 2011. Intermediate outside PET imagining does not include CT slices.
FINDINGS:
LUNGS: New right lower lobe nodular opacity measures 0.8 x 0.6 cm. New left upper lobe sub pleural nodular opacity measuring 0.4 x 0.4 cm.
PLEURA/PERICARDIUM: no effusion
THORATIC NODES: no adenopathy
ADRENAL GLANDS: unremarkable
BONES/SOFT TISSUES: Stable imaging of the visualized osseous structures. No new destructive lesions.
OTHER: Limited, incomplete, unenhanced evaluation of the upper abdomen demonstrates liver lesions coming occluding a segment 7 ablation defect. Correlate with MRI imaging.
IMPRESSION:
1. Since April 1, 2011, new subcentimeter right lower lobe and left upper lobe pulmonary nodules, possibly representing metastases. Follow-up recommended.

===========================
Now remember that a few weeks prior my CEA level was/is 10.7 = great number - still should be lower - but these findings are good to be found right now!
