A Short Update

As per my last update, the growth/tumour in my pelvis hasn't changed size for nine months. For a cancer to be as aggressive as mine, and see no change, is strange.

When I saw Dr. Noonan last week, her plan is to do a PET scan in three months to see what's what. If it glows like the previous scan (May'25) then there is something metabolic happening. The best explanation is cancer, but it could be something else. If this is the case, she'll push for radiation. The radiation people told me that didn't want to do anything until/unless they see change - but she'll argue that we should handle this growth while it's still small (about 15mm x 15mm) versus wait till it grows or spreads.

If it's not glowing, and it's not spread (ie: glowing somewhere else in my body) then I think I'm in the clear for now.

So there you have it. 

In the intervening months, we're going to plan a trip to Haida Gwaii.
