Well, tomorrow is The Big Mid-Treatment Pet Scan. Ideally this will show that the tumor is responding to (i.e. being wiped out by) the R-EPOCH chemo treatment that Andrew's been following. We fully expect to get great results, but we'll be sleeping much better once the radiologist's (positive) report is in! While we are scheduled to meet with AJ's oncologist on Friday, we may well hear the results of the scan by Wed or Thurs.
So tomorrow morning we check in at Johns Hopkins at 7:30am. The "prep" for this is extensive including fasting and no extreme athletic activity prior to the scan. They want AJ as calm as possible. (Good thing there's no Duke game tonight!) We appreciate prayers for a smooth trip to Baltimore in the am, an efficient process once we are there, and the chance to return to DC before rush hour! (Heck, since we're asking for prayers, we might as well ask for it all, right?) Thanks for following, everyone!
This is a wonderfu blog, guys, and I just love keeping up with things from down here in Atl. You will definitely be in all of our prayers - and have been. You are surrounded by love and support because you all are such amazing friends and have built such an incredible network over the years and across the borders! Here's to a smooth-sailing day all the way through. Can't wait to hear the report!!:-) Lots of love, Anne
