PET Scan Results

So I got the Pet Scan results today and they are pretty darn good considering.  I was actually quite worried that I would have cancer all over due to how high one of my blood tests came back.  Luckily they only found 1 small spot on my lungs that is possibly cancer.  It is hard to say if any spot on your lungs is cancer without surgical removal because there are so many people with "spots" are their lungs that are called granulomas.  So most likely it is cancer, but I took it all as good news being that my liver is clear and they can't find anything else.   

The current plan is to go to MD anderson, and see one other specialist here before we really decide what approach to take.  It is looking like we will have surgery on January 14th to get most of it taken out.

Hi Scott,

That's great news. It's a huge drag that you're having to deal with this, but all things considered you should feel really good about these results.
Hang in there we're thinking about you.

Daisy Duke sent me over here to wish you the best of luck and good fortune, so...Good luck and best of fortune to you!!

I don't know you or your beloved wife at all, and while I can't even begin to imagine all the trials and tribulations you and your family must be going through at this moment, I know cancer is hard for anyone and everyone, so I wish you and yours the best of thoughts and prayers. Blessings.

Daisy sent me as well but this story really hit home for me.
A year ago, my husband and I got married but 2 weeks before the wedding he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. After a shortened honeymoon, we came back and started his aggressive chemotheraphy treatment. We kept thinking this is a lot to take on in the first year of marriage but we always stayed positive. I'm not going to lie- it was tough at times but it helped us truly start our lives TOGETHER.
Now my husband is in remission and we are going to enjoy our 2nd year of marriage in good health and happiness. We learned early on how strong our relationship is and that we can face anything together.
I wish both of you the very best and I know that God is watching over you. It will be tough but remember to have a positive attitude, laugh at the moments around you, and never forget that you have eachother.
