My oncologist wants me to do more chemo but I don't want to.

There were three small areas that lit up during the last PET scan I did, back in November. Of those three areas, two have shrunk. Only one grew. And the one that grew was less metabolically active. And the last time I did chemo was back in October, so the areas that shrunk did so without me doing chemo.

I'm going to continue doing weekly blood tests for the next 3 weeks or so and see what happens.

If I absolutely have to, I'll do chemo. But I am hoping I don't have to.

Thanks for checking up on me!
