Hello everyone--Annie here. My husband just had another PET scan, first one in 16 mos. and the tumor in the esophagus less bright as well as the lymphs we knew about, and also less bright. There is a new lymph node showing activity right on top of the esophagus but also minimal activity. Oncologist said not enough going on to return to chemo. regime. I know he feels like we are just waiting for it to show up in a major organ and until we have more activity we just wait. It is a terribly stressful way to live. He was inoperable after the needle bx. showed mets to the lymphs but has had no chemo. in a year and a half. She watches his tumor marker (CEA) every other month and has been 4.0 last couple of draws. Just try to control it and stay ahead of it. Will never be cured due to lymphs. Hope everyone hanging in there. Annie
