So yesterday Brian and I went to his oncologist checkup to see how his CAT scan went last week. Everything for almost 2 years has been clean, but yesterday we found out that Brian has an enlarged lymph node in his chest.
---For those of you who dont know 2 years ago Brian found out that he had stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/hodgkin). We had no idea he was sick. I mean yes he had been sick and had a skin rash and a sore hip but we didn't have insurance at the time so we were waiting for insurance to start before he could go to the Doctor. Anyway we went to the Dr and the day before his insurance started we found out that he had cancer. Insurance covered everything!!!
So now tomorrow Brian has a PET scan (http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=PET)to see if it they can see if it is cancer again or possibly anything else. An enlarged lymph node can be so many things I am praying that its really nothing but a chest cold but we wont know anything for a couple of days.
It is so hard to be positive when you don't know what is going to happen. I mean I might be upset for nothing at all. I hope its nothing at all!
