Yesterday, my oncologist case manager, Renee, called back and said that we should have the PET scan before we have the next meeting. I figured they would want to do that. The test hasn't been set up yet, but I'm guessing I will have it by the end of the month, and the follow up visit with Dr. Lister probably in early September.
This is the meeting where they will discuss all of the things that we should be aware of for an allogeneic stem cell transplant, options, and questions we may have. Apparently, Dr. Lister has found a study that he believes I would qualify for and will discuss that with us on that day as well. Renee said that she would put together a packet of information about the study and send it out to us to read over before the meeting. I'm not sure what the study would entail at this time, but she said something about a "protocol" which usually seems to refer to chemo, I think. Might it be that I might not have to deal with the possibility of another transplant? How nice that would be.
