Scans and Results

Last week Ollie had a CT at CHEO and a PET Scan at the Ottawa Hospital's Cancer Centre. They were his second ones since diagnosis and were requested to see if the chemo is working.

Getting ready to do the scan. 

Way easier than the MRI that is super loud, but hard to be still in all of them.

Abby came along for the PET scan as she had a meeting with the social worker after.

Today we got the results and they were worth waiting for! Of the 5 original spots of lymphoma cells that they find, only 1 has small amounts of lymphoma cells that are active. Basically the chemo is totally working and blasting those cancer cells to smithereens! 
So we stay the course and complete the other 4 rounds (round 3 delayed until next Tuesday), knowing it's effective and that our brave warrior is winning the battle and hopefully on the end the whole war on lymphoma.

God is good, so thanks to all for your intentions for Ollie and keep them coming so we can win together!
