Full disclosure

So technically Eric's cancer is in remission. The PET scan shows no cancer cells which is fantastic news!! Eric still has a large mass in his chest, this is believed to be enlarged lymph nodes. The doctor is a little concerned about this, but she believes that the radiation should take care of it. She believes that these lymph nodes are non cancerous, just enlarged, and may take a little time to "go down". Eric starts radiation on Feb. 9th, for right now they are planning on doing 18 days of radiation, this is 15 min. a day, Mon-Fri. They will repeat a scan of his chest once radiation is complete to check the status of the mass. Eric is also planning on returning to work on Feb. 9th (the day after his 24th birthday I might add), so I hope they have big plans for a party when he returns :0)
