Compromising my positive attitude

Wishing you wellJDuke said:Hi Liz
I had the repeat PET and 3 level CT last Tuesday at Moffitt. Results Wed. showed and that the liver met is 1.6 cm instead of the 2.0 cm as we were told from the PET at the private imaging facility. Onc. is still suggesting resection if I am a candidate. Surgery consult on Feb. 4th unless he has a cancellation. Surgeon is head of the dept. Hope that means he has done hundreds of resections . That's where we stand right now.
How are you doing? Hope you had a nice Christmas and that you have plans for a very Happy New Year. Thanks for checking in with me.
Warm regards,
Joanne

Good to hear from you. My Christmas was quiet and happy.
Some positive things from your post:
1. The liver met is smaller than what they originally said
2. Not only is it smaller, but it hasn't grown!
3. Between the two PETs you've had and 3 level CT - nothing else is there, just the spot they need to deal with.
4. Resection sounds like an option
5. Your surgeon is the head of the dept, that is always a good sign.
I like to focus on the positive. I keep you in my prayers and I feel that you are going to be fine.
Wishing you well and may the new year bring good health most of all!0
