Being my sisters keeper

[JPKP06]

Jason's cancer returned in the other lung about 5 months after completing chemo post-pneumonectomy. Recurrence can happen at any time. She could ask her medical team why they're waiting until April for the next PET. They may have a reason for the wait and if not, then maybe it could be scheduled sooner.

 

How is she feeling? I also hope it's not recurrence.

Her cold is over and she has stopped coughing. The last CT was taken on the first day of her cold. She has also stopped wheezing.  I too dont know why they are waiting but its likely becuase their needs to be 6 months between PET scans????
