PET results today... I met with my Oncologist today. He said the PET scan showed 5 active spots - one on each lobe of the liver, one in the pancreas, one near the back....
He said that the next step is to have a Guided Needle Biopsy and get a CEA reading. He said it is probably either Pancreatic Cancer or Colon Cancer which has spread to the other areas. He said nothing will done until the results of the biopsy are back so they can have more info. Bummer!

    Oh, dear, I'm sorry you got this news. Just wait till you get the results of biopsy and figure out a plan of attack. Sucks to have to get back into the fight.

    Sorry
    Was hoping there was better news, but get the biopsy first and than go for that plan of action. Maybe because they are small they can get them out without too much problem or just minimal treatment. Thinking of you.

    Whooosh....
    ...that's the air being let out of my tires:(

    Still standing by for a confirmation...I'm still voting NO for pancreas. We don't want that one especially.

    Bummer is a good word for it alright. I'm hoping for definitive answers for you and a good recommendation to address these findings from your onc.

    I'm sorry that things appeared to have turned, Lizzy. That's what makes cancer so tough is the threat and reality of recurrence. For a good many of us, it's never the first shots that are fired that does the trick. A year or two or three go by, and then it seems we must confront it again.

    I don't want this for you anymore than you did for me with my 3rd one, but you still see me doing pretty good, so I'm hopeful for you with that as well.

    This is why we have the follow up scans and tests (to know when something shows up), right? I pray that what ever it is, it was found early and you knock the crap out of it. God's blessings to you. :)
