New Post

Well its been 1 year and 5 months since I have been a Cancer Survivor, I haven't been feeling good and weight has dropped noticeably. I had a Petscan yesterday Feb 10, 2011 and an appoint with Dr. Burrows my Thoracic Surgeon and Dr. Horiba my Chemo Oncologist following to read and discuss the results of the Petscan and to just talk about my overall health. Apparently a spot has "Lit up" as the doctors call it on my Petscan. There are indications that Cancer possibly has come back to my Esophagus located higher up and closer to my throat this time. Good news is it localized with no Lymphoid or other organ involvement, or so it appears. Next step is a EDG with in the next 2 weeks to prove those finds to be wrong. Its just an eyebrow lifter at this point, no concrete word on what it is, could just be inflammation. I'm an optimist could be nothing, fingers are crossed.
