Results

Praise GOD!!! The unofficial reading of the PET scan shows NO CANCER! The "official" reading from the pathologist will take two or three days to come back, but the radiologist who read it today saw no signs in the head and neck. There was a slight scare when she said she saw something "unusual" in one of his lungs. Her questioned Dad about fever, sinus activity etc. and it turns out that she suspects he has pneumonia. It would make sense because he has so much drainage from allergy and sinus problems and for the past two weeks he has been feeling feverish and chills, especially late in the day. We all attributed it to his body just working so hard to heal and of course he doesn't commit to resting much during the day. He has developed a bad cough as well and again he has been treating it as drainage problems from allergies. She couldn't say for sure, but her suspicions are that he does have pneumonia and she sent him for chest
x-rays, etc. After another hour or so and a visit to a different doctor to look at the x-rays, he also determined that it looks like pneumonia, sounded like pneumonia and shows symptoms like pneumonia. So he gave him antibiotics and an inhaler and told him to rest. He HAD to add that he couldn't say 100% without the official reading from the pathologist that it was pneumonia, but I feel so confident that it is. God is good. Continue to pray as we await the "official" results, I just wanted you all to know what we know. Thanks so much for your prayers and love!
