To Add To Any Previous Confusion...

...Sorry for any confusion. Daryl has another "lump" only centimeters away from the original surgical site. He is having a PET scan today to see if this new "lump" likes radioactive sugar. Cancer cells take in more sugar than any other cell in the body (because they are reproducing so rapidly). So, after the body is given the radioactive sugar, it is "scaned" and any highlighted areas are problematic.

Since it's Friday, we won't know anything until the middle of next week. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers! More info as we get it...
