We are at the hospital and have been admitted. We just got settled in and Mitchell is hooked up to his R2 unit. We were shown the pictures of his PET scan (above). There is nothing to see. You can however see his bladder and his kidneys, but the active cells are gone. We are all so excited!!!! There is still a mass, but it has shrunk considerably. He will have another PET scan after this round at which point they will determine if they are going to do a biopsy on the original mass to see if it is still cancerous or just remaining scar tissue. We are not out of the woods but we have definitely turned a corner.
Mitchell is in room number 3533...again and visiting hours are from 9-9.
I have added the first two scans for comparison.
Wow, what good news! I am so happy for you all and hope that things just continue on this good path.

That is awesome news! It's a great corner to turn! Thanks for the updates and we look forward to the results of the next PET scan; hopefully it will follow the current shrinking pattern, and as you mentioned into just scar tissue. We love you and are very proud of the troopers you all have been; specially Mitchell.
