Some news for all:

Update from my PET scan:

Here's the link to my post about the PET scan: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220865668

I had the scan done on 12-16-2025. It was more than a week before I got the results, and they were not what I'd hoped to see.

The cancer in my right lung had not shrunk at all. But it hadn't grown, which is a positive note. Still, I'd wanted it to shrink!

And there were new findings: 3 lymph nodes outside my right lung had shown up. Two were considered suspicious for nodal metastases. The third one is larger and may be amenable to ultrasound tissue sampling if clinically indicated.

So there we have it. Needless to say, I have been intensely preoccupied with wondering where my path is headed. I really debated about posting on these unfortunate developments, esp. at this time of year. But all of you have been so supportive! I really need it now.

As before, I will give each of you a recommendation after I've read what you wrote. I appreciate all of you!
