The Week of Tests

Monday was the PET and several other scans. The results are in, but I have not been in contact with my oncologist concerning them yet. The radiologist said that he saw a potential problem with my gall bladder so he recommended a scan of that area.

I saw my general practioner (GP) on Tuesday for my stress test (treadmill) and it showed my heart was in good condition. The GP said that the scans seem to indicate that my lymphoma might be localized in just my lower abdomen which is a good thing, but he wants me to see the oncologist first.

Friday I was able to get the bone marrow biopsy and also the scan of my gall bladder. That ended my week of testing. Hopefully we can get some results early next week.

Late Friday night, Kirsten & Tony arrived with our 3 grandkids - Caleb, Alison, and Luke. We are looking forward to a lot of fun with them this week. Eric may also bring our other 2 grandkids - Kathleen and Michelle to spend some time with us in a day or two. It should be a great week!
