today the docs told him they don't want to treat the one lesion they found via ct because they are almost certain it isn't the only one. They advised us to wait until next month to have a PET that would give a better picture of what they are dealing with. He is crushed. He still held out hope for being cancer free someday. The RT doc said... you haven't been cancer free since we met. (Jul 09) At that point, Matt stood, shook his hand, and walked out. I hope he can find peace within to enjoy the holiday season, I hope that our road trip to New Mexico will still happen and he will have fun. I hope that he can learn to live each day. One at a time, and not worry about being free from the cancer, but learning how to make the best of the days it allows him.
