More Pet Scan Results

We spent an hour today during my lunch with a radiologist friend who graciously reviewed the PET scans from Good Samaritan Hospital. It appears that the quality of the second scan is questionable and that the third scan was not compared to the first scan from last year, only to the second scan from June. Unfortuantely the hospital did not include the scan from a year ago on the disc for the radiologist to review. He suggested that we ask the radiologist who read the last report to do a comparison of all three. I called Good Samaratin today and made that request.

So the moral of the story, just in case none of that made any sense, is that it appears there are no new tumors and that Jon is stable at the worst case senario. What is even more encouraging is that the intensity of the PET scan (which measures the physiology of the cancer sells as opposed to the size) remains significantly reduces. We are optimistic about switching to the Doxil, however Jon was a little whinny about starting chemo again on the 15th...I think it interferes with the goose hunting season :)

I will post the final results when I receive them from the radiologist.
