Waiting to exhale. . .that was all of us yesterday as we waited to hear the results of my moms CT Scan. After playing a very long game of phone tag with various doctors offices, we finally got the answer to an important question. Has the cancer metastasized to other parts of her body? Drum roll please. . .NO! There was no sign that the cancer has invaded her abdomen or her internal organs! Go ahead, do a little happy dance, we all did. We were are all very encouraged with the results of the CT and feel we have been given so much more hope as we contemplate moms future.
However, not to dampen this great news, there were two, very small spots on her lungs. BUT the doctor does not think they are anything to be concerned about. To be sure, she will undergo a PET lung scan (a radioactive imaging test) that will show the doctors exactly what those spots are. Then on Friday we get to meet with her Oncologist and get the low down about the treatment she will receive. Will this include surgery? Possibly. Will this include chemo and radiation? More than likely. Whatever lay ahead, we are choosing to keep a very positive attitude and outlook on the future!
Thank you for the support. . .
