PET Scan

Quick update - I know it's been awhile, but there's been little new news to report. Today I had my first PET scan after treatment. In case I haven't described it before, in the PET scan you're injected with a radioactive glucose. The sugar is metabolized at a higher rate in areas which have active tumors. My scan from today will be compared with my scan from way back when - before the six cycles of chemo. In about a week or so, my oncologist will let me know the results, and what the next steps will be.

So it's going to be a little longer before I know how I'll be spending my holidays. Fingers crossed for good results.
