An Even Shorter Update

For shits and giggles I loaded up my history into Google Gemini to see what it would say. Because the tumor growth had pretty much stalled, I was hoping it would come back and add a little optimism into the mix and say "hmmm ... this is not behaving like an aggressive cancer".

Alas it did not. It came back and said "this is cancer until proven otherwise". It also said an important measure in my upcoming PET scan would be velocity of the tumor. 

The scan here was taken about a year ago, and the values the radiologist would look at to determine velocity would be the actual tumor size (then versus now) and the SUVmax (the brightest pixel on the scan - not shown here but the scale goes from 0 to 17.5). So I guess you cannot be just a guy writing a blog and interpret this scan - you have to know what you're doing.

So that's my question - what's the velocity? 

My PET scan is scheduled for April 22, and I see Dr. Noonan on April 30.
