Last night, DRomov called me and gave me some great news. His preliminary report from Epic Imaging from the PET scan show NO TRACER ACTIVITY in the lymph nodes or surrounding area. This means that the cancer doesn't appear to have spread outside the rectum!
We didn't know this for certain previously as the films we hand delivered to Dr. Lee didn't have this report with them because the PET scan doctor had not made his report yet. The TRACER ACTIVITY in the area of the original tumor in the rectum has increased from a 10 to a 15. It has been in the 20's before... This means the cells in that area are more active. DRomov says he thinks this could be due to the bleeding, and other activity in that area in recent days.
In any case, the word of no spread was encouraging as we move forward.
