PET Scan Result

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, In : Breast-Cancer Updates 



Last week we saw Ann’s new gynecologist. He is an incredible wealth of knowledge, especially with regard to biochemistry. I wish I could share more details with you, but that would be hard for me, because I wouldn’t even know what I'd be talking about. But Dr. Warshowsky has a unique talent to explain complex biological sequences in plain English. We learned that Ann is highly allergic to dairy and eggs, plus her liver seems to have difficulties to detoxify and how all that realtes back t...

PET Scan anxiety

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Sunday, October 18, 2009, In : Breast-Cancer Updates 

I can’t complain. My kidney-cancer diagnosis was on October 1st. I had a CAT-Scan, a Cystoscopy and PET Scan done, and I will probably have my surgery – called a simple nephrectomy, the removal of the entire organ – done within the next two weeks. Given what other cancer patients have to endure often over the course of many years, it seems that I will get away fairly easily.

What concerns me the most at this point is Ann’s PET Scan. We should receive the result tomorrow and I a...

My Kidney-Cancer situation kind of took over everything else here. I just had my Cystoscopy done two days ago and now I am waiting to get my PET Scan done next week. I hope that comes back clear. Anyway, if you're interested, you can follow my Kidney-Cancer story here:

Kidney-Cancer

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Thursday, October 1, 2009, In : Breast-Cancer Updates 

I don't know, this is so weird. My Urologist called me today, they got the results from the CT Scan back I had done last week. They found a 6 cm tumor in one of my kidneys.

I really don't know what else to say. Ann and I feel that we need to get out of this house. Maybe there is something going on in here and we cannot have the girls being exposed to whatever that may be.

I am scheduled for blood work tomorrow and a Physical on Tuesday to make sure that I will be okay being put under anesth...
