PET Scan – Jun 13

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Ren

20130705-132632.jpgHad a PET scan last week in Olomouc, and I got my results today. These scans have never been positive for me in the past, so I did not really expect much. The good news is… well actually there is no good news, so just the bad.

Seems like my little mutants ran out of real-estate in the liver and decided to venture forth to seek out new habitats to colonise. Not surprising really. Why stick to the overcrowded liver when there is so much space in the lungs.

I now have 2 brand new mets in the right lung, and a small met in the left. There is also a mention of small ascites in the pelvic region. Not good to hear, but I am not overly concerned about the new mets, as the liver is still my main problem.

About Ren

I have been diagnosed with stage 4, metastatic colorectal cancer in October 2012, 3 days after my 44th birthday. There is no cure, but I am determined to go down the road less travelled to find one. I have setup this blog to document my journey and hopefully help others in the process. My view is that if there is a cure, it does not lie with traditional chemo, but with the immune system. Time will tell.
