Update on Tim - PET Scan

catya88

Hi everyone

Tim had his first PET scan a couple of weeks ago, the cancer moved to his bones and lungs. Five spots on his bones and two in his lungs. He goes in today for a bone biopsy. The doctor said they could not do the lung because the spots are too small and they could damage the lung instead of getting a sample.


He had an open sore on his neck we thought was breakthrough from the radiation treatment, but those results came in yesterday and it is cancer, they are 99% sure it is the same cancer.

He also had a brain scan last Friday and we are waiting on those results.

Once we get the results from bone biopsy we will push forward on getting him into Sloan-Kettering for a second opinion.

He is in pain with the bone cancer, started having that before we even knew it had spread.

Please pray for him - Cathy

So sorry...
Cathy, I am so sorry to hear about the latest test results but you must keep the faith and believe that they will find a treatment plan for him that will have good results and you two will have much more time together.

You are both in my prayers,
Glenna

How are they so sure?
If I may ask how do they know it;s cancer if the biopsy has not yet been done. Is the PET showing uptake and do you know the size of the spots?
