Keeping the Fingers Crossed...

Well, tomorrow I get my first post-chemo CT / PET scans, then our simulation run for radiation on Friday. What's it all mean?

Well, as for the scans, its pretty straightforward: If my scans are clean, that's a great sign and we start rads the following week. If its not clean, we head to either Fox Chase or Penn to begin salvage chemo (also known affectionately as savage chemo) and prepare for a stem cell transplant (as the "easier" chemo failed). Needless to say, we're rooting for the former option (and its the most likely scenario).

However, "scanxiety" has kicked in full-force. I'll know on Tuesday how things are. Say a little prayer tonight for me, if ya don't mind!
