So dad had his petscan today. We went for an anesthesia assessment and the nurse was like, "Oh, your results are up", and told us everything. After all he went through, the tumor didn't shrink AT ALL... but the SUV went from 10.2 to 6.2. The infected lymph node still shows up as non-FDG-avid, but shrank from 11mm to 8mm. There is an elongated lymph node adjacent to the tip of the liver between it and the pancreas. It's benign, but worries me (could this turn into cancer?).
He is very weak and couldn't take treatments rights now. We will see what the main doctor says Thursday. They are scoping him tomorrow.
