PET/CT day

Mom had her PET/CT scan today, which is a super-high-tech scan that will give us loads of information. The scan is amazing, but quite involved. Mom made it through the day, but all the events have taken a toll and she was in a lot of pain tonight. She is spending another night with good friend Sally since she wasn't quite ready to be at home alone. As I mentioned to Mom tonight, hopefully this is the "low point" and things will get better from here. Even if the scan shows extensive cancer, at least we will know what we are dealing with and can formulate a treatment plan. Also, once we see what the cancer involvement is, we can figure out if there is any therapy that will help with her pain. I will post more this weekend as Mom recovers from the all the tests this week.

  1. Thank you! This is so helpful. We've been waiting and wondering. It sounds like Sally's in very good care with you all. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help in anyway.
