Today Adam had the PET Scan. This test is done by putting radiated glucose into his system intravenously and then take pictures with the CT-Scan. Apparently the cancer feeds off glucose, so it will glow wherever the cancer is located. The scan showed that at least two nodules in his lung was Hodgkin's. Now the next step is to determine how to treat, and in order to determine this they will either have to do a surgical biopsy of the lung, or a bronchioscope to determine how to treat.
We did receive the results from the bone morrow and they came back negative, so no cancer in the bone!!
So now we wait for an answer as to what is next. Once a determination is made as to how to go into and check out the nodules on the lung, then they will decide when and how to start the chemotherapy.
