The More Things Change...

… The more they stay the same.
Mom got the results of her PET scan today, and though the “all clear” wasn’t given, we’re not disappointed by the results we heard.

There are still two spots in her lung. The radiologist won’t say definitively if they’re cancer or if they’re just scar tissue (he’d lose his job if he took a stand on one side or the other). Dr. McHale seems to think since they haven’t changed at all, they’re scar tissue likely from the radiation treatment Mom received right after her diagnosis.

So, to take a cautious measure Mom is on maintenance. There will be a very low level of chemotherapy treatments she will continue for the next three months and then another PET scan to see if the spots have changed at all. However, the chemo will not knock her out for a week like the last stuff did.

Not bad… Not GREAT … But over all… Pretty good news!
Thank you for your prayers,
Abby
