I'll just start off by telling you that all is well! Hans scans ultimately read Stable today. But, we did have a big scare. Hans was just out from bone marrow aspirations (a general anesthesia procedure) when Dr. Mosse came to find me. "There's a new spot." she said. The bottom drops out, and she goes on to explain that it is a spot above his left eyebrow. But, she explained that she had already ordered a CT/"spect"because she wasn't 100% convinced it was a progression. Sooo, over the next couple of hours I experienced a very specific level of NB hell. We got right into the CT scan, and quickly back up to our office visit. I was ultimately relieved to hear that Dr. Mosse's intuition was right. The CT scan revealed that Hans' original spot was there on the backof the skull, but the new spot was completely normal. This actually suggests there was some contaminant on that part of his head. It should read perfectly normal in a couple of days. Exhausted, Hans and I went to celebrate at MadMex. Chips, salsa and a strawberry margarita for me. It has been a week of rather extreme circumstances for us. Right now, the four of us are separated one three coasts (if you define 'coasts' loosely). Kevin is already at work in the new position in Bakersfield, putting an offer in on a house today, Elle is back in The Woodlands, staying with Kelly, one of her BFF"s, and here we are in Philly getting freaked out by contaminated MIBG Scan!

Gosh La - Only 1 margarita? Too scary but the end result was A-O-K ! And, we are all so very glad to hear that. Love, pl
Well all that's a roller coaster you did not ask for. Super glad that all turned out fine and that there were chips and salsa and margaritas to soothe the nerves. Tell Hans, salsa-love is in the genes: his great-cousins Erin and Quinn went through quarts of the stuff (literally) over summers at el rancho in New Mex. :) I still do. :) love ya. erin
So sorry to hear about the scare! Rejoicing with you guys that all is well!
