I thought I'd pass along a bit of great news we got yesterday. My mom had a PET scan last week to determine how important it was that she get back on chemo (her wound isn't healed, yet, so they have held off on chemo since the beginning of December). The nurse called her yesterday and the report indicated that there hadn't been a change in her cancer since her last scan, which was in November! The great news is that the cancer seems to have stopped growing (at least momentarily), so they can continue to let the wound heal. The slightly bad news is that she has an appointment with the surgeon today because they think the wound might be infected again, which is keeping it from healing the way it should... very frustrating.
