Scheduling a CT Scan

It's almost two weeks later and the lymph node is still enlarged! When Jonathan had his last scans / evaluation in February, it was decided that instead of getting scans every 3 months, we would switch to scans every 6 months since the tumor growth was so slow. Even though his scans would now be every six months, he would now receive a physical at the half-way mark in the Oncology clinic. This means that Jonathan will still be at LPCH every 3 months but it wouldn't be for scans, at least, that was the plan.

Since his physical was coming up, July 10th to be exact, we decided to ask if a CT scan could be scheduled, so that way we would have those results to review as well. An appointment was setup for June 30th to see his nurse practitioner and he also had labs and a chest x-ray done. His CT scan was setup for the following Monday, i.e. July 6th, with his MIBG scans occurring later that week, i.e. injection on July 7th and scan on July 8th.

I could see that the folks at the Oncology clinic were a little bit concerned, and the fact that an MIBG scan was also scheduled, and relatively quickly, was further proof. Now I cannot wait to review the results on July 10th. We fear the worse but hope for the best :).
