On Monday, February 18th, I had a PET scan to check how well my chemo treatments had done against the cancer. Tammy and I went to the oncologist on Tuesday, February 19th and received a great report. The oncologist said the lymph nodes don't disappear, and it takes a long time for them to shrink completely; but the metabolic uptake was no different from lymph nodes versus the rest of the tissues which is good.
The ongoing plan is to see the doctor again in April and then see him every 3 months for blood work. I will have another PET scan in 6 months if insurance will allow it. If the cancer is to come back, it is most likely to do so in the next two years.
