petscan results

Dr. Kuttesch called Martha. The petscan that Adam went through last Friday reveals no other tumors in his orbitals or his brain. There is some density in his neck but Dr. Kuttesch is optimistic that this is not a problem, though he couldn't be unequivocal. The petscan is an excellent imaging test but does have some limitations and so the tests Adam will have on Thursday will confirm these results.

This is good news. Dr. Kuttesch will be rounding at Childrens Hospital on Friday and will meet with us then to discuss the extent of the chemo after Adam's procedures. Adam will be getting a 'central line' implanted, having a bone marrow sample taken and starting chemotherapy.
