Went to Emory yesterday-12 hours round trip- and met with the oncologist, had the simulator done for the tatoos and had the radio-tracer injection, PET scan and more bloodwork. I'm to return on the 29th for more bloodwork and may or may not get the results on the PET scan before then because of the holidays. I am tentatively scheduled to begin IMRT on 3 December if the Hope Lodge has a room available. It looks like Christmas and my birthday (in Jan) will be spent in Hotlanta enjoying Emorys hospitality! Trying to get everything around the house caught up beforehand! Hope everyone has a happy turkey day next week! John
