We got the results of the PET scan today and got punched in the stomach again. The PET scan was lit up pretty good. It showed 7 areas of activity: 2 areas of the spine, the T3 on the right and L5; the right scapula; the 6th rib on the right side; the sacroiliac joint; the right sacrum; and posterior sacroiliac. I would've been pretty surprised if nothing showed up, but wasn't quite ready for all of that! With all that said, we still aren't sure of the treatment. We have an appointment Tuesday with my radiation oncologist and hopefully he can treat all the lower back/hip stuff (sacroiliac joint, right sacrum, posterior sacroiliac). No wonder I was hurting so much down there! We go back to St. Louis Friday the 5th to meet with the doctor and discuss treatments. We anticipate I'll start with some kind of chemo to try and get things under control, but we'll see what the doctor says.

I'm not really sure what else to say. We were really looking forward to a boring 2010, but it looks like I have some work to do. I'll just do what I need to do and keep a smile on my face. When we find out more I'll let you know.
