Up with Necrosis, Down with Cancer

Well, unfortunately the results from the CT scan aren't telling us much.  Or let me rephrase that, they're not telling us as much as we'd like to know.  This is the deal... comparing this last weeks CT scan results and my last PET scan results is like comparing apples to oranges.  The CT scan does not reflect how active the areas on my liver are.  A lesion on my liver may appear bigger than the last CT scan I had (which was back in January), but that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Stick with me here... The bigger lesion may actually be showing tissue necrosis (death of cells).  Obviously that would be BAD ASS!  At this point there is absolutely no reason to believe that the lesions have increased in a "bad way" (meaning the cancer has spread).  But to be absolutely sure, Dr. H wants a PET scan STAT!  Normally insurance wouldn't approve a PET this soon, but Dr. H put up a good fight.  My PET is scheduled for this Thursday.  

UP WITH NECROSIS!  DOWN WITH CANCER!
