Preliminary PET scan report!

Greg had his second endoscopy yesterday at Aspirus in Medford.  They had a problem getting an IV in again (they said he has "tough" skin), and his veins are shot from all the chemo he's had in the past.  He was to have his PET scan today, and would need another IV.  I woke up in the middle of the night thinking . . . why can't they leave the IV in, so he doesn't have to have it done again?  Well, lo and behold, they checked with the providers doing the PET scan (Aspirus Hospital in Wausau), and they said SURE, they could definitely try to use the one from Tuesday, but if it didn't work, they would have to poke him again.   

Fortunately for Greg, it worked and he did not have to be poked again!  YAY!  We certainly were not expecting any results today, but we did get preliminary results!  

They do not believe they saw an swollen lymph nodes or spreading of his cancer!  YAY!  That is the BEST news we could have possibly received!  PRAISE GOD!   

We still do not know what stage his cancer is, but will find that out, along with our plan of attack on Tuesday.   Please continue your prayers for Greg!  Our AWESOME God is listening!    Thank you, everyone!
