Neil had a PET scan on Saturday evening. The whole thing took two hours...injected him with dye, waited a half hour, then did the scan. Not only will the doctor have a more accurate picture of where the cancer is, this same scan will be done after the first two rounds of chemo to measure how effective it has been in shrinking the affected lymph nodes.
Tomorrow is a bi day--he gets the portacath. He has an appointment with Dr. Mehta on Tuesday to go over the bone marrow biopsy and PET scan results and any questions before chemo. First chemo injection is on Friday.
