Update on scans

Sorry for the dry spell, but I didn't think you wanted to hear all the goings on in our life without reporting on the cancer.  It has been a long summer.  I was laid off the end of March, Peggy is starting school, and Shaeli graduated, and Caity and Morgan are heading to school next week.

Cancer update:
No significant growth in current tumor.  Possible new tumor in scar tissue of right lung.  This is likely the scar tissue is absorbing the radioactive isotopes.  I will have to have more scans in 8 weeks to verify this.  The doctor seems to be fairly confident that this is the case.  If not there is a new drug out to treat the tumors that has shown to be very effective on killing the tumors.

So this is good news, no treatment for now, and we will check and see if there is a tumor or not by evaluating the differences in the scans.

Merry Christmas and have a lovely day,
Andy
