Well, you guys may remember my post from Novenber or so. Had a petscan that showed lymph node reaction,but no tumor. Docs thought it may have been from strep throat. after a routine angiogram in december turned into a life threatening event, I did a follow up petscan in January that showed no improvement in node reaction, actually slightly worse. a biopsy on my subclavicular node was malignanat. there were a couple of tiny nodes in my chest that showed reaction and next step is a chest ct scan to see what the treatments will be. as of now the possibilty exists of chemo and possible radiation of my chest, then surgery. dont really know which way we will go. Guess we shall see. guess the good part is that I feel good and would never know it if wasnt for scan.
