Rather than waiting until tomorrow afternoon, the oncologist called tonight to give John the results of today's PET Scan. The doctor explained that the scan was inconclusive. That is, the lymph nodes near John's liver did not "light up" on the scan. If they had lit up, we would have known for sure that the kidney cancer had spread. Now, we still don't know for sure.
Next, the doctors are wanting to do a major surgery to remove both his right kidney and one of his swollen lymph nodes for biopsy. We are now waiting to talk with the surgeon.
