PET Scan Results

I just got the results from the PET scan from this morning. The tumors in his lungs are slightly larger and a little more active. There are also some additional very small tumors showing on the scan as well. His primary tumor is slightly more active as well. There are no other new tumors shown. We meet with the doctor on Wednesday to discuss a possible change in his chemotherapy and or possibly radiation therapy to his lungs or heat/cold therapy. I will update again after we meet with the oncologist.

Scheduled PET Scan

Curtis has another PET scan scheduled for Friday 12/28/11. He is having some symptoms of a kidney stone or urinary tract infection. They should be able to see any stones with the CT part of the PET scan on Friday. He is off the TPN now which was providing him additional nutrition for 12 hours every night. He has lost some weight since stopping the TPN but we are hoping he will be able to gain some and not have to go back on it. We had a wonderful Christmas with Tavner and our families. I should get the report Friday so I will update this weekend of the results.

Happy Holidays! (Here is a picture of Curtis taking a cat nap with our niece Zoie)

PET Scan Results

Curtis had a PET scan, I guess it's been about a month now.. Looks like he is responding to treatment. He has 3 small tumors in his lungs still that are actually getting bigger but they are less active. The doctors are not sure if these are actually tumors or if they are pneumonitis which is a nodule that is a side effect of the study medication he is on. The other tumors are no longer detected on the PET scan except for his main tumor in his colon/rectum.

The Jeep is coming along.. almost ready to drive! The airstream is pretty much the same mess, just a little more organized now. Work on the Airstream should start in the next month..

Here is our goal :)
