PET Scan Results

Today was a pretty good day. We got the results of my PET Scan and the cancer has not travelled to any organs or lymph nodes thank God! The doctor did, however, describe my scan as intriguing. Evidently I have a softball size tumor on my right side, above my uterus and bladder that came up extremely hot on my scan. I guess when something comes up as a "hot spot" it indicates where large amounts of the radio tracer they injected me with last Wednesday has accumulated and where there is a high level of chemical activity. This indicates cancer is present. He is unsure if it originated as cancer or if I had the tumor already and the cancer travelled to it. Either way this is something they can, thankfully, remove as far as we know at this point. In the next couple days I go in for a cone biopsy where they will take 3 different biopsies in an outpatient surgical setting and try to narrow down once and for all if this is truly endometrial or cervical cancer. The doctor did indicate that so far almost everything about this is showing signs of endometrial cancer but they just want to try and confirm before they decide on treatments. Thank you everyone for all the encouraging prayers, emails, phone calls, texts, and thoughts. I appreciate them all and am very grateful to have everyones love and support!
