Dr Hayman and the PET scan.
I had a PT or Pet Scan in the AM and met with DR Hayman in the PM.
He was late and that was driving me nuts. When he did come in, he was in a cheery mood. He said the cancer is in limited stage and it is very rare to catch it that early.
He agreed with me that LEMS may have saved my life. I could have been walking around while the cancer started spreading for several years, then it would be too late for much treatment but you always have to go done screaming about something, don't we.
Anyway we just went from 25% to 50% and he explained it a little better. He stated that if it comes back, it's within the first year and if it stays away 3 years, it most probably never return.
What a hell of a turnaround.
Dr Hayman had read the PET scan report but no radiologist had interpreted it yet. He said he saw no glaring problems, only good news.
Maybe this day or maybe the day after the PNA from DR Kalamkarian's office called and asked if DR Hayman told us about the PET scan report. She confirmed that the report was good and that nothing lit up the scan.
This much good news makes me, well?
Giddy to say the least.
