PET scan

Troy had his PET scan this past Thursday. We met at Dr. Goldsweig's today and unfortunately he didn't have great news. There is a small abnormality on the opposite side of Troy's neck where he had the original surgery. His lymph node on the left side shows as if it is slightly larger than normal. There is no way to know what it is from the PET scan so they are ordering an MRI for Troy so they can have a better look. At that time they will make a determination as to whether a biopsy is needed or not. We are praying for the best and hope that this is nothing more than something that is a result of the radiation. We'll keep you informed. As you can imagine we are in a somber state right now. Troy has been worrying since he had the PET scan on Thursday. I don't even want Troy to get a paper cut right now, let alone have to have another surgery. All we can do is hope and pray right now.
