NORMAL PET SCAN WITH NO EVIDENCE OF MALIGNANCY

For once, we got some excellent news. Adrienne's PET scan is normal! Words can't describe how happy and relieved we are. We thought she was in remission but after all the bad news of the last few years, we didn't want to get our hopes up too much. Now we'll all sleep soundly tonight.

There may be an issue with Adrienne's liver, however. She had an ultrasound last year to investigate a possible clot but the problem seemed to resolve on its own. Now the problem is noted again. The doctor couldn't access the CT portion of the scan so we need to wait until tomorrow to figure out if further action is warranted. This seems minor compared to everything else and we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

We had a really nice Thanksgiving, though Curt wasn't able to be here. That means we'll have a second Thanksgiving this weekend, not that I need any more food! Adrienne had a really good visit, sleeping much of the time as college students do, but getting in some shopping too. She has a couple of really busy weeks coming up with exams and final projects, and will be back on either December 14 or 15 for her winter break.

Thank you for checking in with us. Adrienne reads the blog from school and would love to see comments from people who visit this site. Please leave your name with the comment because we can't always tell who they're from.
