The results from the octreotide scan did not show that Dawn's cancer began in her lungs, as the oncologist suspected. So, today she had a PET scan, which you can read about by clicking here.
This is being done to hopefully find out exactly what the primary source of the cancer is, as it apparently does not originate in the liver, but has simply spread there.
Additionally, she had her 3rd consecutive day of chemotherapy, and will now be off for two weeks. We have been told to expect her to be very tired within a few days, as almost all chemotherapy patients experience intense fatigue that is not helped by sleeping more hours.
Again, Dawn wanted me to be sure to thank everyone for the continued support and love she has been the recipient of since this all has unfolded.
