Good news!!! No tumors found in the PET scan. Andrew is (currently) tumor free. He will have to get CT scans every 3 months for the next year, and every 6 months after that for follow up! What a great way to start the weekend/summer!!!
He will have to do follow ups for probably 5 years to make sure he is tumor free. I will probably know more after our next visit in three months.
Just for general information, Andrew does currently have two lumps behind his right ear. The doctor felt that they were simply from his lymph nodes and not a tumor. Andrew still has them even after a round of antibiotics, so we are watching them for the next two weeks. If they do not go away and/or they grow in size, then we will be going back in to the Oncologist to have a follow up on that, but it is the doctor's opinion that these are not tumors but something else if they do not resolve away on their own. At this point he would check Andrew's other lymph nodes, but this does not seem to be a worrisome problem.
