Hi All-
Just a quick update:
On Friday, I had a PET scan and blood draw. Today, Angela and I met with my oncologist to go over the results. The good news is that my scan revealed no signs of cancer. The one negative is that I did have some inflammation of the lungs, but that could be from any of several reasons including a viral infection or as a side effect of the chemo drug bleomycin. I will get another PET scan in roughly 5 weeks to see if that has gone down.
I will be getting a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow, which I must say I am a little nervous for. None of the testing thus far has had anything to do with how my bone marrow is reacting to treatment, so it's hard to feel confident one way or the other. I should get a call from my oncologist from the results of that hopefully by early next week.
There's reason to be optimistic, so we certainly are. We'll keep our fingers crossed that things continue to look good and we can begin to think about long term care plans.
A big thanks to all of you for your continued support and well wishes. We'll send out an update once we've processed the results of the biopsy.
Thanks!
