PET scan update

Things went okay today. I am feeling a bit better (no more vomiting and the headaches have cut back). I really believe I picked up a bug that Monica and kids have been fighting for the last few weeks, and it just hit me very hard. Since I felt a bit better the doctor decided not to do the lumbar puncture, which did not disappointment me at all. Somehow a needle to spine does not sound fun. The PET scan from last week showed stability in the cancer, but a new and different spot showed up on my lung. The doctor believes this to be a spot of bronchitis or phenomena, which would explain the hacking cough I have had, and probably the other symptoms too. You should see the heads turn when you walk into the chemotherapy room with a hacking cough. I had the regular chemo today and the doctor put me on antibiotics for the cough. With all the damage on my throat my voice is very much gone and sore at this point, hoping it will come back very soon with some rest. -Eric
