I just received the results of my latest PETscan and they're not good.  My cancer has recurred.  Between my CT in November and this scan the cancer has returned with a vengeance.  2 masses, one slightly right of the midline and the other left.  Ive had over 2200 hours of chemo, and am currently on xeloda.  Waiting to see what's next.

This is what we all fear when we get our scans.  Hope you can get the help you need to get the cancer shrinking again.

Saw my oncologist.  Possible additional surgery and chemo.  Going in front of the tumor board may 8 to map out plan of treatment

That is devasting news and I'm sorry.  I'm hoping that they can put you on some type of treatment that can help get rid of it.  Maybe surgery could be an option.  Wishing you well.
