Hello Everyone,
I have some exciting news. We are going back to UPMC from July 22-24 for an EUS and PET/CT. We will meet with Dr. Luketich on the 24th to get the test results and find out if surgery is an option for Daddy.
He has done very well over the last 3-4 weeks-he's beginning to act and look like a much lighter version of himself before diagnosis! However, he is very anxious about the PET/CT. Not the results, but the procedure itself. He's never liked to be closed in but it was never an issue until EC. I'm not sure if its all the procedures that he's had done or if the anxiety is a side effect of chemo. Nevertheless, he's losing sleep over it even though he knows he is going to take medication to help him relax. They are putting him to sleep for the EUS; I wish they could just roll him on through the PET/CT before they wake him up! :)
For me, I very much want to know how well he has responded to treatment but I am scared of what else they may find. I'm sure many people go through these same emotions when they are facing these types of tests as well.
If you could, would you please pray and send positive thoughts our way during the week of the 22nd? We would appreciate it so much. I have said this before, this board has been a wonderful source of information and help since dx. I can't thank you enough.
You are all in my prayers daily.
Love,
Chrysti
