We spent the whole weekend going over his options and it came down to fixing what needs to be fixed now and not getting caught up in the what ifs. And since there is a high probability that the PET would show activity from inflammation and/or scar tissue from November's surgery, it seem wise to wait. He'll likely have the PET sometime late summer and we can deal with that.
This takes a lot out of him physically and mentally. But now that he has made this decision, I can see a shift for the better. He is a good guy who could use a break.
I love being able to come here and share the "burden" with you. I really feel that we have all of you in our corner. You know what this is all about, you have been there. Aren't we so lucky to have this safe place to express our fears, etc?
I love you all_ Anita
