The results are back.....The PET scan showed a tiny, tiny spot in her pancreas BUT NOTHING (no tumors, no cancer) anywhere else (the first scan in August showed tumors in her peritoneal wall (lining of stomach)----and cancerous cells were found in her uterus).  The CT scan on Friday showed no mass, and the PET scan was done for a better look.  Radioactive dye was injected before the PET scan. This would "light up" any spots in her body. The only spot was this TINY one. This is truly a miracle of GOD!!!  When we went to Mayo in August, the doctor told us that she would have to continue chemo every 2 weeks for the rest of her life.  We weren't given a stopping point because I think the doctor was referring to " her life" in terms of months.  If you have read anything about pancreatic cancer, the life expectancy isn't long.  Now, the doctor said she needs to complete 12 rounds of chemo (she's already had 5), and then just have regular check ups and blood work done. I think my dad said it best...."we get to keep her"!!  PRAISE THE LORD!!!!  THANK YOU GOD!!!
