PET Scan scheduled

After my appointment with Dr. Gupta last week, we left the office with mixed feelings again. We got my tumor marker results back, and they were not good. My tumor markers had increased by 25. Since I have been taking chemo for the past twelve weeks, we thought they would have gone down. But, Dr. Gupta said some times the numbers go up before they come down due to the timing of the test. I am scheduled for a PET Scan on Monday, September 10th to get a clear picture of what is going on with my tumors. I will get the results the next day. We are praying that the tumors have been decreasing in size and that no new tumors are growing somewhere else. Please continue to pray that my body stays strong for the fight.
