Saturday 13th December: PET scan and Biopsy

After a fairly deafening silence of a couple of weeks, it seems like things are moving forward again. Looks like we have to go to Sydney on Tuesday afternoon, back Wednesday night, for the PET scan. (Times and flight details still to be confirmed). Then on Thursday morning, I'll have a further biopsy (this time just the needle version) on the area around the right tibia. Hopefully this will give everyone a better idea of things and how best to respond.

The building cresendo of Christmas is certainly gaining momentum around town. I've been pretty busy work-wise and having time out during next week is going to take a chunk out of a busy week. Never mind, all for a good cause!

We're a bit up in the air as to how the holiday time will pan out this year. First year in absolutely ages that we won't be away on the water. I may well have daily short blasts of radiotherapy on the leg during that time. Just not sure as yet. Might be a 'stay-cation' as they now are calling it.
