Anna went for new CAT & PET scans today. These were the planned 3 month post-treatment followup diagnostics. The results will tell us how well the chemotherapy and radiation worked. She had a couple of blood tests 2 weeks ago and we didn’t hear back, so no news is good news there. Also, the tumor on her leg appears not to have returned at this point. So we are guardedly optimistic. Yesterday was pretty tough, emotionally for Anna and for me. Sometimes we can live just pretending she has a nasty case of bronchitis that explains her terrible cough. A day in the radiology area at the hospital will quickly cure you of that illusion, however.
We get the results Friday. I’m so in love with and so proud of Anna. It’s been a hell ride so far.
Anna’s going to a cancer survivor’s weekend near Fort Wayne this weekend. Hopefully she embarks with good news.

My babysitter had a cat scan a few days ago and they told her that they have found an illusion on the scan. So then they sent her to get an MRI done. She is still awaiting the results. What does and illusion on a cat scan really mean?
