Marathon Test Day!

Melissa has her second set of PET scan, CT scan, and Pulmonary tests.The PET/CT scan results will be sent to a centralized lab at Ohio State University where a panel of three PET experts will review the scans. Next week, we will receive the results. Melissa will travel down one of two roads towards recovery. If the scans are negative (cancer is inactive), Melissa will continue with the ABVD two week chemo treatments ending in mid-July. If the scans are positive (reveals that some cancer is still active), she will begin a new round of chemo treatment called BEACOPP. This new series of chemotherapy drugs would  treat Hodgkins Lymphoma more aggressively and end in mid -August.

The tests begin.....now! Let the continued prayers and support begin!!!! Thank You!!!!
