PET Scan results Dave

[norfolkbirdie]

All

The news is not good. Seems the Tarceva may have stopped working. He now has new growth in the left lung, which is his only one and has been fine upto now,more growth to the right lung stump one, 2 new lymph nodes in his clavicle and a new liver one. Don't know sizes yet, didn't ask.Seems they are all quite slow growing but are obviously causing some of his current problems. What to do? For the first time, I don't know. Onc says no to another round of chemo, Dave not well enough. we are both feeling down , we will go and see Onc on Monday night, if Dave well enough, and discuss what next. Meanwhile they are ordering oxygen etc.. to be delivered and making him an appointment at breathlessness clinic so that he can be better in control and panic less if he has any more episodes like last night.
Hopefully I can be to!
The PET scan has shown 2 areas which were not found on CT and clarified that the one they said in liver could be a new growth, is! The question is would ignorance have been better? My gut always told me there was something else going on which made me push for PET scan but now we know, I feel guilty for pushing for it! Mad!

Frightened & sad

Dear Ros,
I am so sorry to read this result. I hate this bloomin disease! I cannot imagine what you are both going through. I hope that the oncologist can offer something else. I am at a total loss of what to say to you sweetheart, I know you will be heartbroken (((hugs))) Thinking of you both. I will give you a call later.
