My Appointment

Dr. Miller was a very nice man as I expected. He told us that there is not enough evidence in the CAT scan or the Pathology Report to warrant Chemotherapy or Radiation at this point. That was very good to hear! He said not to get my hopes to high but maybe I'll get lucky and need neither.

He has scheduled a PET scan for me. This is a scan that will tell us what that thing in my lung is and if those suspicious lymph nodes are indeed cancerous. I will get my PET scan date by tommorow, all offices were closed so I couldn't get it today. I am also being sent in for bloodwork tommorow.

My fingers are crossed and so are my toes, legs, and arms.

Now that is what I like to hear! I hope the scan comes back clear and you can do the "monitoring" and not radiation or chemo.

I also had seminoma so if you ever need to talk to someone who has been through it just reach out. You know where to find me.

LIVESTRONG!

Sounds like much better news. I was so glad to hear this. I will pray harder for you tonight and will expect continued good news. I am sure both of you are much happier tonight. Sleep well.
