Jay had a pet scan this week. He has not had one since December 2013 because chemo shows up as cancer on a pet scan. And they didn't want to stop treatment long enough to let chemo get out of his system. But since he was hospitalized they had to wait 3 weeks which is long enough to allow for a PET Scan.
PET Scan results indicate that Jay is in complete remission. No sign of cancer. Just scar tissue from where tumor was. PRAISE GOD!! The Oncologist had the results read by two Radiologist and is having a third specialist read the results as well.
Jay will still have low dose chemo every other week... for now... to make sure micro cells don't grow. But no sign of disease and full remission.
Tumor marker also went down to 18. The lowest yet!!
