Ruth/Mom/Grammy had both a PET scan and a CT scan today for planning her radiation therapy. She tolerated both well, but was glad when the procedures were over. Dr. Truelson, her surgeon, called this morning and said that her pathology results were back from her biopsy and that yes, it is squamous cell cancer as he suspected. I guess if you have to have cancer, it's a good cancer to have because it is slow growing and slow spreading which is part of the reason the PET scan already came back clear for all other organs except the larynx and I believe one lymph node on the same side of the neck as the tumor. (We'll double check that next week.)
Thank you for all your prayers as they lift us all up, especially my mom, and we continue to be positive about the final results of the chemotherapy and radiation.
