Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 150 | Hi everyone. It has been so long. My dad has been getting clear results until recently. He has an elevated LDH. They stopped his Lipitor (I'm praying that's it). His lungs were clear to xray-the ldh is the only lab that is off, he has no lumps...They have scheduled a PET Scan. I am simply terriifed. So is he. Just looking for some prayers and words of encouragement. Our minds have jumped to negative town. I am just petrified of the PET.
