Well, Jason wasn't able to get the PET scan done yesterday because our insurance company denied the pre-authorization. However, the docs are pretty confident that they will get it approved through our insurance company and he will get the scan done in Midland (hoping this happens in the next couple of weeks). You know, all the politics and stuff!

Meanwhile, Jason has decided to stop treatment (chemo and Avastin) for the time being. He is feeling really well and just wants to take a break. If he can get the PET scan done in the next couple of weeks, it will help him decide whether or not he will start taking the Avastin again. We do know that the chemotherapy portion of his treatment is done for sure. The chemo is the part that makes Jason feel sick and fatigued for a few days afterwards. Right now, the plan is to take the next 4 weeks off for sure and wait to see if the PET scan gets approved.

We know that stopping treatment right now may seem a bit scary to some of you but this is something that both Jason and I are very comfortable with. Jason's MRI looks really good compared to this time last year and this is the best he has felt this entire time.
