We met with Dr. M, and there weren&#8217;t any surprises either positively or negatively. The problem is that we don&#8217;t have any previous PETs to compare this one to, so this is a new baseline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We did learn that her liver is a bit smaller than average now, and the edges of it appear bumpy on the images (should normally be smooth). There were also no obvious &#8220;glowing&#8221; spots on the liver images which would normally indicate a tumor. This likely means that the cancer cells spread out within many parts of her liver vice gathering and forming a tumor. Is that better or worse? We don&#8217;t know. Lori asked, but we didn&#8217;t get a very clear answer. Our doctor just seems satisfied that she&#8217;s clearly getting a very positive response from the Cisplatin chemo, so we&#8217;ll continue that therapy for now.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: we didn&#8217;t learn much at all from the PET scans.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;ll skip her chemo infusion this week in order to feel strong for this weekend&#8217;s birthday celebration. She would have begun her 3rd round of Cisplatin\/Gimzar this Thursday, but we delayed it until next Thursday. Her birthday is July 13th, but we&#8217;re having her party in Lafayette on the 11th.<\/p>\n<p>We would love for everyone who can make it to come out for the party on Saturday night at my parent&#8217;s house.
