PET Scan Results Show RESOLUTION

~ mervhuber

This won’t be a long update (I will post something more in depth tomorrow), but I wanted to share with everyone the great news we’ve just received.

I underwent my interim PET Scan yesterday morning – my first true progress update since I started treatment – and we received the results this afternoon.

Scan shows RESOLUTION IN BOTH NECK AND CHEST.

Those were the only two regions which lit up last time, and they are NOT lighting up any longer! From what I was told by the nurse, this is about the best news we can hope for after the scan, and hard evidence that this cancer could be truly, 100% behind us!

 

NEXT STEPS

While this is obviously great news, we only got the results from my councilor and not from my oncologist, so there’s still a lot we don’t quite know:

  • How much more treatment does Dr. Stevens recommend?
  • What are all of these medical terms in the results that I don’t quite understand?
  • What is this lump in my neck that I can see and feel (more on that in my next, lengthier update coming tomorrow)

We have our next consultation scheduled on April 18 (12 days from now) in conjunction with my next chemo session (my 8th treatment and the close of my 4th cycle).  So we’ll know more then – plus, we will send all of our info to Arturo, so we may have more answers sooner rather than later.

 

CELEBRATE

In the meantime, I just want everyone to know and celebrate with us that we have gotten truly excellent news today!  It’s been such a long time since we’ve gotten good news.

 

THANK YOU as always for the positive thoughts and prayers! I think they have worked – but keep them coming just in case! 🙂

MUCH MUCH MUCH LOVE to everyone!

  1. Hi there. Wanted to congratulate you on the great, clean looking scan!

    Also wanted to thank you for putting your journey online and available for people to see. I’m in your shoes… except about two months later. Learned about my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis on March 8. Same stage as what you had. I read through a lot of your posts and it’s prepared me for what is to come (my treatment with ADVD starts in five days).

    Hope for continued health and success in beating cancer!
