Here We Go Again

For those of u who thought u knew me inside out and backwards, u can have a look at the really inside of me. This is the report of the PET scan I had Tuesday. Some more of me is disappearing. I have new lesions and some of the old are growing. I'm afraid this means more chemo. I go to Denver on June 12 and we shall look into any trials I qualify for. I'm afraid this is going to screw up summer/fall plans. I had a sense I shouldn't plan too far ahead.

Addendum

 I reviewed your PET scan with radiology this morning.  The previously seen areas in the bone are bigger and brighter on the current PET scan, but there are no clear new areas.  The right iliac wing area was seen on the 11/2013 PET/CT but did not have PET-brightness associated with it.  So, while there is some evidence that the cancer in the bones is a little more active, it has not clearly spread to new sites.  Depending on other available options with less side effects than traditional chemo (clinical trial at CU), it would be reasonable to keep doing what we’re doing and continue close monitoring.  We’ll see what Dr. Bunn’s opinion is.

On a much lighter note, I was talking to Alice and Teague snapped this picture. It was the best conversation we have had so far. We talked about the beach, playing with her friend Brooklyn, Daddy home and mommy working, her top that has sparkles. She was really speaking well. I need to hug her soon. We ended with an" I love u" whisper.
