Hi friends. I had a clear PET scan last week!!! I was very excited to find that the new place is not a tumor. I start radiation on Thursday the 27th. They did not suggest chemo, but I have requested to see a medical oncologist and have that appointment Wednesday. I will take his opinion. He is Dr Frank Greco, one of the top medical oncologist in the world. If he says he doesn't think it's necessary then we will forego. If he suggests chemo then I will go ahead and have the PEG placed per doctor's orders. I'm nervous, but not in a bad way. Ready to get treatment started and get it over with.
