Scan Results
Well... I saw my oncologist today to get the results of my PET scan. I didn't hear exactly what I was hoping for, but what can ya do. The mass in my chest has grown since the last scan. Not by a ton, but about 30%. The SVU level at my last scan was 7.1, and it's gone up to 7.7. So, more activity... which is a bummer. Thankfully though, there are no new spots anywhere. So I'm back to debating between continuing to do what I have been, or starting the Nivolumab infusions. At this point, since I still feel good and am not really having any symptoms, I'm leaning toward not doing the infusions yet. If that changes, I might start the infusions. I've been pretty diligent with my diet and supplements, but there are other things that I started doing in the beginning of my more holistic approach that I've been slacking on. So... time to buckle down and get to it. I see my doctor again in six weeks for another checkup and more blood work. In the meantime, I must think happy, positive thoughts, LOL. Thanks so much to everyone for your support, it really means a lot to me, and I really appreciate it. XOXO
