#1 PET scan came back "as good as it can get" for a person with cancer. Everything is completely localized so much so that I was "downgraded" from a T3 M1 to a T3 N1. Doesn't sound like much I know, but dang it it is HUGE!!!!(trust me)
#2 Upper GI came back with really good results as well. Showed EXACTLY where all obstruction is. Again - all very localized.
#3 Radiologist put my name in for the hospital to consider as a candidate to use one of the two hospital owned apartments in the area! If the apartments are both not available and they find that the need is still great, they will help pay for a hotel! Please pray I can get qualified for that as that would save a WHOLE lot of stress and worry as well as precious finances!!! I would still come home on the weekends to see my sweet family though; I couldn't do this without them.
I go in tomorrow for the "simulation". A mock up of how exactly they will line up the eternal beam of radiation. I will get to get 4 tiny little tattoos on my midriff area to mark exactly where they have to line me up each day to "zap" me. They will just be little polka dots, about the size of freckles, but I was really hoping for a snake to connect the dots - or, oooo.... maybe a big Mauri warrior design.... Whaddya think?!
