Test Results

I repeated my PET scan and CT scan on Thursday and discussed the results with my doctor yesterday.  I have shown much improvement.  According to the reports, areas outside the lungs that previously showed activity have been resolved.  There is very low grade activity in my lungs.  (Activity shows where the cancer is.) He actually believes that this might be a false positive and that it is even better than what the scan shows.  So he is going to have me repeat the PET scan after the 6th cycle and compare it to this one. He did not lower the dosage of the chemotherapy. But I am ok with that because I am tolerating it well and I want to WIPE THIS OUT!  So basically, it is almost all gone.  The only thing is that now they see there is a small calcified nodule on my thyroid gland in my neck.  He is having me go for an ultrasound next week, but he is not alarmed.  He believes it is probably a benign tumor.  Overall, he gave me an A-minus.  A very good grade!
