Clean!

Today we met with my Oncologist.  He told us about the results of the scan.

Before I tell scan results I need to explain that a PET shows activity level the CT shows size and location.

So my oncologist explained that the PET shows that there is no active cancer.  Good news right?  Well sort of.  The CT shows there are 2 spots in the Liver and both shrunk.  Good news right?
Well sort of.

This is all really good news but if you were there when I got the report in May from my previous scan they saw 4 spots in the liver and a nodule outside the liver.  So now you are asking what happened to the other 2 spots and the nodule.  They are suspecting they are Fluid collections or post surgical inflammation.  Actually they also said the area they reconnected my colon also showed activity in May and that also shows no activity.

So here's the plan.  We had a 3 month follow up with my Liver surgeon just as a precautionary measure.  That appointment is Jul 31st.  That will be my surgical consult appointment.  There we will discuss the possibility of RFA or Radio Frequency Ablation.  With that they Burn the spots out of the liver.  The spots are at a size they are still visible so this is a great time for surgery.  Also while in surgery the hope is the surgeon will do an ultrasound on the other spots to see what those are since those are not suspected as cancer.

So overall this is really good news, we just need to find out what the future holds.  More sit and wait but that should be o.k.
