I went and met with the Radiation Oncologist today. He had my PET scan results and unfortunately the results were not fantastic. He told me the cancer is in 5 major spots and is also in some of my lymph nodes in my torso. Shoooot!!! not what I was thinking at all.
He informed us that it is in my lower back the L3 which we knew already. Then he said it is also in 2 places in my right hip one of the tumours in my hip is 3.5cm. It is in my upper back in my T3 and is also back in my left armpit where it originally started.
So the plan is to treat my lower back the L3 as that is where it has been sore and is sore and we are also going to treat my right hip with radiation. The radiation treatments should start in the next week or so just waiting for a call with dates. we are going to do 5 treatments one a day for 5 days. Then we will attack the rest with Chemo.
The oncologist said that in his experience the people who are positive through it all fair the best. Its a good thing I am stubborn and positive :)
Have a great weekend enjoy time with your families.
Love ya
