First Scan After Chemo Ended
If it's one thing I am learning over and over again, it's that in this cancer journey, there are going to be highs and lows continually. I had my first PET scan since ending chemo three months ago. I will be having PET scans every three months for quite some time, maybe indefinitely. If there is no new activity, then the PET scans will stretch out a bit more to every 6 months. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best news but it's good news. No tumors are actively present in the breast area or armpit nodes, BUT the cancer has grown a little bit in the clavicle area. This is NOT a new area but an existing one that showed up when I was diagnosed. The doctors are not too worried right now, but I am. I am still losing weight and not trying to do that. The final statement on the PET scan report says, "No evidence of metastatic disease" but I want to shout-"HEY! THERE'S A SPOT GROWING!" What are we going to do about that one? At this point, I do not know.......
