PetScan Results

I know it's been a while since I updated, as usual there are not enough hours in the day. In any case the consensus is that the "uptake" that was noted from Alec's PetScan can still be scar tissue from radiation. The only was to know for sure is to continue to be scanned and monitored. Seeing how we have no previous PetScan to compare to, he could have had uptake the whole time. He will have another PetScan in about 6 weeks. I am not a big fan of this test as it produces radiation. Alec's Dr. feels and I quote with his heart to hearts that this is not a sign of recurring tumor. Alec, at the time was improving, walking better, balancing better, speaking better, all around improving.
