Wednesday is officially the big day...the PET scan is going to happen...the exact time we're not sure. We have found out that only 4 tests can be done in a day...so Linda was very lucky to get that day (we didn't want to sit until next Monday!). They say it could be as early as 7 am...Linda's response "NO PROBLEM"
The scan will determine if the cancer is limited to the lung area or has spread..it eastablishes the "stage " the cancer is in and dictates the course of action regarding surgery, chemo and radiation....Linda has very positive beliefs that she found it early and that it is in stage 1 within the lung.
The doctor's office called and set up an appointment for Thursday morning. At that time he will review the results of the scan with her and discuss the course of action from that point on.
That is about what we know at this point...the hospital is to call tomorrow with the details as to timing of the test as well as pre test requirements.
