Scan
By Margot | March 21, 2008
So we’re not really sure how the scan looked. The left leg, where we’ve had uptake in the past, was perfectly clear. The right leg looked like there was some uptake around the knee but it was faint and we’re not sure how much of it to attribute to growth plate issues at this point. Growth plates light up and Sam’s growth plates are now supposedly bigger. There was a disctinct small spot just up and to the left of Sam’s port. The port lit up brightly which is of course common because that is the injection site. The tech said the other spot looked like a line or a spill of some sort and not necessarily disease. The last time something like that happened, Sam had a dressing on and as soon I redid his dressing the spot went away. He wasn’t accessed today so I don’t know. If it is disease, it will be on the sternum or the collar bone but looks right in the middle of his body to us. The MIBG camera was being kookly today so we couldn’t do the full body scan, all we could do were the static scans, which are supposed to be better anyway, but they asked if we could come back tomorrow for the full body scan. We rented a movie last night and the kids didn’t get a bath so you can bet that I’ll be scrubbing the area of the collar bone spot with a Lady MacBeth-like vigorousness if they can fix the machine for a scan tomorrow. I’m sorry that I can’t post that we are all clear but we’ll wait and see what the report has to say and what the collarbone spot looks like tomorrow. Yesterday’s LDH was 674 so better.
Stay tuned.
