Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Today is a very happy day, and I hope that the results of my PET scan will give us even more cause to celebrate. My PET scan was Tuesday, and this afternoon we will find out the results.
On the last PET scan I had, at the end of 2010, there was a 2cm node that had increased activity.
If the activity in my chest has gotten lower or gone away, or if the mediastinoscopy does not show cancer, then that is good news, and I will only have to have checkups every few months to make sure the cancer is still at bay and is not thinking about coming back. This is OPTION 1, and it is still the best option.
If that activity is the same or higher, we will have to do a mediatistinoscopy (surgery where they go in my neck and down my chest) to see if the activity is cancerous or not. If it is cancerous, then we will have to do radiation and high dose chemo, and I will need a bone marrow transfusion. This is OPTION 2, and is not what we would like to happen.
So please, vote for Option 1. Vote early, and vote often.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers, please continue to send positive energy and good vibes, and let’s hope that tonight we can raise our glass of green beer to celebrate GOOD NEWS!
Peace and Love,
-A
