This latest PET scan shows that I have metabolic activity in my sternum, that has only gotten bigger since my April scan. It also shows a positive lymph node in my right clavicle area, that was not there in April. This node is .6cm in size, currently to small for biopsy.
In a nut shell, my cancer has returned.
I"m going to wait until the end of August to have my next PET scan, this way I'll get to have all summer without worrying about being a patient. In the meantime, I'm going to try an estrogen blocker to see if this makes a difference with my latest cancer. Don't know if you recall or not, but my cancer didn't grow in estrogen (meaning my cancer was/is estrogen negative). This medicine wont hurt me, only make my hot flashes worse. BUT.... it "might" help; its a reach. Lets just wait to see in August.
Don't know what else to say.....
Hey, at least I get to keep my hair with this treatment
