KICKING CANCERS ASS!

Alright, Just got my pet scan results. But first I had a CT scan a week before the pet scan. The ct scan showed no active cancer. Which was hard to believe bc they said they didn't get all of a lymph node during my liver ablation and lymph node removal surgery that was June 30th. So that's why they ordered a pet scan. So she told me today that the liver lit up on the pet scan but it could just be inflammation from surgery. And that the lymph nodes were not as bright. So they suggested waiting 10 weeks and doing another ct scan. So my worry is why would we do another ct scan if the first one didn't show anything that the pet scan did? When I asked her how long the liver stays inflamed she had no answer for me. So I am just worried about waiting the 10 weeks to scan again. This is also not coming from my primary oncologist. This is coming from the doctors at UChicago Medicine the hospital I had surgery at. Ughh just don't know how to fe

 Pet-scan complete... scheduled at the worst time for going to the south side of the city but we made it there and back safely. Had a visitor fiasco, they said no visitors and after I was signed in and had a room for over an hour they said that I could've had someone with me while in the room. But James ended up waiting outside in the car for roughly 3 hours. Anyway, not being able to eat for hours before the scan I had a bad headache during the chemical injection. Was cold and just wasn't the best experience since the liver surgery. With all that said we are hoping for the best results and getting back to living life to the fullest. Results will be announced sometime this next week. Until then be safe and healthy everyone!

 Results of the CT scan: no signs of active cancer which is awesome news however after the liver ablation surgery the Dr said there was some cancer still left around an artery. We were a little confused about what was actually left if any. The Dr told us 2 things they could possibly do... 1 is just wait 3 months and do another scan or 2 do some radiation and a chemo pill for 5 and a half weeks assuming the cancer is there. After the Drs talked it over they have decided to do a PET SCAN and that will be done August 20th at UChicago Medicine. Until next time, be safe happy and healthy!

 Today we made our travels to Chicago, Hyde Park again for my CT scan. We didn't have any issues getting to the hospital thank goodness! Pretty uneventful. Now we just wait to talk to Dr. Polite later today and I will post the results and next action plan sometime tomorrow, fingers crossed for good news! Heavy construction traffic downtown Algonquin!
