   *My own doctor is clueless on this*   
   He didn't bother to notice the 8th grade arithmetic.   
   of volume of a cylender and compound interest.   
      
   -Right paracaval lymph node   
   (fused image 232): 3.5 x 2.3 cm with SUV max 12.0   
     That is growing at a daily rate of 3.815 percent   
   will have to be removed long before it cuts off the   
   blood flow through the inferior vena cava.   
      
    From page 17 of the PDF   
     -Right paracaval lymph node (fused image 232):   
   3.5 x 2.3 cm with SUV max 12.0. Previously 1.2 x 1.1 cm   
   with SUV max 10. (also referenced on page 71 of the PDF)   
      
   Volume of a Cylender = π r² h   
   (as a proxy for actual shape of the lymph node)   
   Right paracaval lymph node 2024-09-13   
   volume of 1.2(L) x 1.1D = 1.14cc   
      
   Right paracaval lymph node 2024-11-20   
   volume of  3.5(L) x 2.3(D) = 14.54cc   
      
   14.54 / 1.14 = 12.75-fold increase derives a 3.815% per day   
   for 68 days. computing the same rate for the future cuts off   
   all blood supply from the inferior vena cava very quickly.   
      
   Days from 2024-11-20   
   (dimensions assume currect 1.5 to 1.0 ratio this may change)   
   30 days after --- 1.03815 ^ 30 =   
   3.07-fold increase   5.10 x 3.40 =   46 cc   
      
   60 days after --- 1.03815 ^ 60 =   
   9.45-fold increase   7.35 x 4.90 = 139 cc   
      
   90 days after --- 1.03815 ^ 90 =   
   29.1-fold increase  10.80 x 7.20 bigger than a softball   
      
   Without surgery the blood flow though my inferior vena   
   cava (from the lower half of my body) would be entirely   
   cut off very soon. *My own doctor did not notice this*
